Thank you both for the replys, I do have Mplayer, however I am not that 
familiar with it as I have only used it to watch dvd's. I did some 
reading about Sox, however it wasn't clear to me that it supported all 
the formats I use. Having said that, I did not d'load it and try it. I 
am very interested in the Wav output plugin for xmms. I did not even 
know xmms would output files at all for burning/recording. I will check 
into that first I think.

Thanks again.
Dave
