Hap and All,

In fairness and allowing for all conditions during the conversion process I
suppose  I should have been a little less emphatic with my statement about
quality.  I'll amend it to read:  "The resulting recordings aren't
necessarily the most stable or of the highest quality..."  In my experience
the files have been sub-par but at least I heard them, and I'm sure the very
process of being interrupted would almost have to have some baring on the
final recording.  I've heard flutters, ticks, and some obvious data loss
here and there.  In other words, the files may not be archival quality but
if not you'll at least have had the opportunity to hear them.

Ok, my conscience is clear.  <smile>

Pam
