Good morning colleagues and especially Howard, I am inclined to agree that Winamp likely does not store time markkers within the audio file being played, but does so in a separate metadata or config file, similar to the way the VictorReader Stream does with its bookmarks which it stores in a .bkm file. Now that you have me curious, I am hot on the trail of investigating that question and will get back to you. Should someone beat me to the punch bowl <grin> I thank him or her in advance. Have a joyfiled holiday season all. Best regards, Rob Tabor

Doesn't seem like it'd be in the audio file, though one never knows.
