Thanks for the link. I'll keep watching. Rockbox doesn't support my shuffle at this time -- probably never will. I'm a husband and dad. In this family that means I drive the oldest car and get the hand-me-down electronic gadgets. Having just bought my daughter a nano for her birthday, I guess I am in line to get her mini soon and I can try it then. BTW, the mini's batteries are end of life in holding a charge. Any recommendations for battery replacements? -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
