Steve,
I took a look. Looks good, but doesn't support WMA. :-( Since I
already have half my stuff in WMA..... I know. It doesn't matter.
Media player reads both.... Just me being stubborn. I actually
should download it and give it a try....
BTW, I haven't heard any complaints about cold weather the last
couple of days. Guess what guys? It's coming back. We have winter
storm watches for tonight and tomorrow. Temps now about 30F (Waaaaay
above normal--record is 41F) and supposed to be about -25F plus
30-ish mph winds by Tuesday morning. I think that barbed wire fence
between us and the north pole has just about worn out :-)
