perception is a son-of-a-b****, my bad. i ASSumed it was all-american. it's hard to get used to this WORLDLY thing.

all the songs i searched for, (many) are formatted as 1 to 4 million size. i don't know if that's bits or bytes. not like L W, normal size songs are 1,000 to 11,000 kb. i did try searching by size, still came up by millions. first song virus, was prob an omen. "get off this program!" anyway too old to have to think that hard.

i did set up L W on the other user. saturday i ran both at the same time all day. slows down U L alot tho. i started with normal (T1) settings. 9 U P on music, 5 U L on the video side. also D L a 4 disc album (63 songs) for myself. D L wasn't affected by speed. only D L from one side.

mp3 player for B'day is fantastic. it changes alot of file ext automatically. just drag & drop! most of MY stuff is mp3 & wma. but D L's are a mixture. very easy to use, thus far.

p.s. b'friend's B'day same as mine. his present is still trying to get here. 62" HD Sony. bet that will make him feel better!
