Thanks - thats good to know.

I have the Abby Road CD as well, and if I can find some software that will allow me to rip the '2nd side of the album' as one long song as it was meant to be heard, instead of a collection of a lot of short songs then I will do more. I have a few CDs that are medleys of more than one song. I just didn't want my player to look at the file size and go "Oops - too long. Next.." and move on to the next song. It must load X number of frames as you suggested.
