Hi Randy, thanks for explaining where you're coming from on this. Just as I imagined, you're way ahead of me in regard to knowing how to create a library of all your ripped CDs so that you can use your computer as the heart of your music system. You don't say whether it's connected to a serious audio system, or if you just use the computer like a sort of boom box? This is stuff I'm trying to get a handle on, because someday I may want to set up something like that. Anyway, I hope you post whatever you discover about whether or not to upgrade, so I'll know more about all this. Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy,but when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybody's gonna jump for joy. I know the Manfred Mann version is the only one most people have heard, but don't I remember that it's a Dylan tune, actually? Maybe it's on one of the basement tape collections? Always liked that song. What's this Jeb and PB thing? Also, is it at all possible for you to fix your email program so that your own new message can appear first, above the one to which you're responding? It's a bit of a hassle having to arrow down through my own quoted message and headers and stuff to finally find what it is you've written. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "RandyZ.

What about you? How come you wouldn't just switch to WMP 11 in order to learn more skills using this guide? Because you've heard it's awful, or because you have some kinds of settings that involved a lot of time and labor to make, and they won't transfer to the upgrade? Or..? Good questions and I'm certainly very interested on the topic. I upgraded several months previously and found the new version scrambled my Library and was generally harder for me to use. I didn't invest a lot of time because the upgrade was actually an inadvertent upgrade which after a limitted amount of exploration was one I rolled back. There are several things I'd like to add to my abilities with WMP 10 but having not seen anything sufficiently enticing about WMP 11 I stayed with the comfort and function I had with WMP 10. Now I've toured the guide in a very limitted fashion and while I find it has promise I want to study it a bit further before I decide whether or not I might upgrade again. Presently what I most want is enhanced library manipulation skills for my reasonably large collection of CDs now entirely stored on the computer.
