Jon,

Mostly works - thank you. But some files are failing to be converted 
with an error message stating that the file cannot be found - but the 
reported file name is missing some at the start. For example file:

Richard Ingrams - The Life and Adventures of William Cobbett - Part 1 
(R4 2005-06-27).aac

fails with the error message:

d Adventures of William Cobbett - Part 1 (R4 2005-06-27).aac: No such 
file or directory

The section "Richard Ingrams - The Life an" has been omitted.

This is happening in multiple directories but only to some of the files 
in each directory. For example, there are five "Life and Times" files, 
two are converted and three are not. Then, for Nineteen Ninety-Eight, 
three are converted and three are not.

Do you have any ideas please?

Regards

Clive

PS - For reasons I can't explain my replies are not getting through (and 
they are not html). They leave but don't appear to arrive but new emails 
seem fine. Hence, this method of replying.

To BG99 - thank you for your help. The line works fine.
