Hi Paul,

I eventually engaged brain. The list of files showed up as being the same as all otheres I've used WMP to copy across. But I seldom trust windows, so I used Switch Sound File Converter, to get to MP3, from whatever type Streisand favoured.

That's done the trick.

BTW, the versions with just piano and base are much more to my taste than the rather glutinous strings.

Off for a fix.

As for the Archos problem, check bit rate and ensure you're not falling foul
of DRM (Digital Rights Management) issues.

Yesterday I bought a Streisand CD. Not because I'm an ardent Streisand fan but because the arrangements were by Diana Kraal, with the second of a 2CD set having a simple piano accompaniment, instead of the orchestral backing of the first.

Anyway, I used Media Player to copy them to the PC, then dragged them across to my Archos MP3 playe, as I do with all my CDs. When I came to play them, all caused a notice to pop up that I've never before seen on the Archos; this is not a recognised file type and will not play.

It plays OK on the PC.

Any fellow sufferers out there?
