Hi David,

Could you send me one SD file and one wav file of that CD if possible? I'll
first test it and I'll then report. The reason is that the conversion
settings aren't always the same. You can mail to joeri@...
(PS: to save some money, send the smallest possible file)

Which leads me to an OT message to the list: does anyone know a
freeware/shareware program that can "batch" rename files? I've been looking
for that for other filetypes as well.

Bye,
Joeri
