Blankhi albert many thanks for that. i have downloaded the program but it would not play the file. not sure if i am doing things right plus the book concerned (chicken hawk adventures of a vietnam chopper pilot), seem to have gone off my system. the only file i can find when i do a search is called chicken hawk.exe and this will not open. i am thinking that if it is an exe then it somehow works in conjunction with a player to open. would be most grateful if you would send the sound taxi program version you have and scripts. probably best to do so off list....the rules on attachments etc. you can reach me at tigerone@xxxxxxxxxx or anyone else who might like to contact me off list. best Paul H ----- Original Message ----- From: albertbrown To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 8:52 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: m4b file types Hello Paul, I will Send You the SoundTaxi program along with the scripts to you directly, it will save you time.
