Thanks Jim. Nice offer but my problem is I don't know what the origin of the SB3 and remote is. They look new and unused but are they? Are they returns (and if so why)? Is the SB3 a refurb? I will let others sort out what I have been sold I think. I'm sure the information provided will come

There is an issue raised here which I have wondered about but didn't investigate. In an MP3 stream which uses the ICY protocol the titles of the songs now playing are interleaved with the MP3 audio stream in the same TCP connection. Now this is the point that need considering. If the titles

I don't think there is anything you can do to the files you have modified so far other than manually correct these. However, for future tagging, use a program that has an option not to change the file stamp when you amend or update tags - TagRename and Mp3Tag will do this (Windows). That way
