Dear Tim, Yes, I mean the run-of-the-mill emoticons people use. I'm impressed how they can so swiftly insert them. It's not an urgent issue. On the more urgent side, I'm trying to create a smart playlist with a rule to move to it only mpeg files. But I get a persistent message, whatever other

Hi Donna, The only thing that comes to mind immediately is that perhaps the hotkey you have assigned to unmute VoiceOver is also a hotkey for a Skype function and that somehow it is causing a conflict.
