    Hi Dave, It is possible that the new way your making MP3 files that 
are using the wrong sample frequency. I am very weak on this too, but I 
have some mp3 music that plays fine in an old cd-rom based mp3 player. I 
got a cheap mp3 player that uses a sim stick memory and it's tiny. The 
old mp3 would not play. I gave it to a Windows friend and he put it 
through their thing and raised the sample rate a lot. Now they play on 
the new tiny box.
