Hi Vangelis,
Good to hear from you.  Yes it is getting warmer here.  Just had a week 
away on Isle of Mull and didn't see a cloud all week, only aircraft 
vapour trails, and there was a splendid cool breeze to keep us fresh. 
Perfect.

Thanks for the links and yes I have been through all my previous posts 
but only after the file failed.  I have now read and re-read the wiki 
pages but had not remembered the fact that the 96kbps which gives me the 
file size I want is the one that Linn firmware cannot handle.  Will try 
the other options as I posted.

Am very disappointed with Linn as they still have not sorted out the 
issues I previously identified and seem reluctant to do so even though 
they admit the faults.

Best wishes,
Alastair.
