thanks for the comeback. I'm going to give ninja a try. I used
binsearch to try to get the 64k show that was missing and it wasn't
there. only the 32k show was there. im thinking it was incomplete and
never reposted. ill listen to the 32k show in my car. not gonna kill
me to listen to a lower in my car.
thanks
