Ok I appreciate all of your help. I printed out the steps to configure my firewall and got that done. I downloaded Super v2006 Build 19 and it may be easy software for someone who knows what they are doing but I'm still new at these things. I got my songs on it by click and drag but when I try to encode them it says invalid next to them. I chose MP3 as the output. They are currently in wma. I don't know which frequency, channel or bitrate to use. Please honor me with some more of your knowledge! Thanks! RaeRae
