Hi Tim,
Thanks so much for the forwarded post re the ipod. I'm definitely going to 
check out the suggested software and web site.

Btw I tried to join the pc audio list a few weeks back but got no response. Do 
you have info for joining pc audio that you could send me offlist?

Thanks again,
Kimberly
