Good evening Gale. Thanks for the info! downloading as I speak and will certainly provide feedback on this. I remember what you said about the libraries but surely hope that discussion is getting closer. I can't tell you how excellent and productive it is to have audacity be accessible on the mac. I'll letcha know how it goes. Thanks again.
