Rats! I just wrote an answer, then saw that I had clicked on New Thread instead of reply. I think it's time for me to go to bed. (It's 5 a.m. here)
Hey, thanks again for great info. I had just downloaded vlc from France (no sites in the States) and it went just fine. I picked all the audio and video file extensions I recognized from LW and my system. Hope I did right. I didn't pick .bin because I heard that's a big no-no for safety reasons.
Haven't tried it out yet, but I'm a bit too tired to function right now. I have so many players on my system now that I have a hard time chosing which to use.
I'll look up the other programs you mentioned too, see if any will help me out, or just confuse me more. They are all so alike and yet so different.
I guess we're all just learning all of this, though the masters know most.
Thank you again. I really appreciate the help.
