| Thanks, I did not know that only .wav files will embed with the "package
for
| cd" feature. Both of the music files in my show are .wma...however, it
| doesn't explain why one of the sound files played from "packaged cd show"
on
| the older OS and the other did not. Both play from "packaged cd show" on
the
| xp system. Could different Media player versions be somehow related ? --
