The internal loop was a great idea....however the mp3fs app beat the pants off of everything!!! It took mere minutes to set up and I had a full virtual filesystem of mp3s, and I could even right-click on the parent directories to get the 'size' of the mp3s inside, once they would encode. Brilliant and thank you. -- Jordan Peacock hewhocutsdown at gmail.com hewhocutsdown.blogspot.com
