Believe or not Matt I got the horse first :-) I only have One mp3 file 
in my systems. No video files and no dvd's. It couldn't use the audio
but it did try and will surely work .

I will rectify that tomorrow and report back in due course. In the 
meantime having read John's Linmag article I will download the source
overnight as a penance.
