Well, here's an educational opportunity for me and probably for others.
Your suggestion produced some fine wav files. I cranked up k3b,
converted them to mp3 format, they play back just fine with mplayer, but
k3b claims that they are now unsupported formats, after it did such a
great job of converting them to mp3. What gives? I'm trying to make a CD
for my traveling enjoyment and what it converted it cannot use????

Man, I'm confused here. The only format my car stereo will accept is
MP3, right?? Or, am I in need of some education here. Thank you for your
help. Ric
