Hi Jim,
Many thanks.  I am going to try Vangelis's suggestions first since he 
has spent hours patiently helping me and see how I get on.  If all else 
fails I shall do your bail out and yes; go to flac.  Not sure what I 
will lose in fidelity through this process but hope it will be OK. 
Since age has tarnished my "golden ears" which I never claimed to have 
anyhow, we should be OK.  Hopefully will post progress in due course.
Budge.
