Apologies to everyone. I just checked and the test file doesn't work for me
either. Something is wrong. I'll attempt a fix this evening.

I think Lang should pay all of those who did the test for him with a bottle
of something! I would hate to have done all of that involving QuickTime,
QuickTime to me is a cancer like real audio, once you have it on the system,
it's hard to get rid of, sorry I would not do the test mate, I still believe
you will have trouble trying to stop anyone pinching your files, once the
file plays like anything else, you can record it onto something like a hard
drive or Cooledit, it seems a lot of trouble for nothing, I do like the
peppercorn thing though!

Lang,
I had a look at your Common Loon. Beautiful photo which loaded instantly.
The sound took a further 5 minutes to download on my iMac with slow rural
phone connection, but great sound when I got to hear it. A pop-up window
arrived just as the last bit of sound downloaded. It said something like
"upgrade to the latest Quicktime version". I'm already running Quicktime of
course, so I thought I might as well upgrade. A mistake!! The download for
this took one hour and fifteen minutes for a whopping 10 MB file. There was
no warning the upgrade file would be this big. So maybe a warning for PC
users who have slow connections, that Quicktime might take some time to
download the full version.

Wil,
Setting back to Media player wasn't too tough but they should have a
simple check mark for it. Thanks.
