I loaded this on my video Ipod and it works like a champ. Thanks for pointing me towards it, Will!

Glad you liked it, Will - coincidently, that's the same make of iPod that it was developed on.
Over the next few weeks, I'm hoping to overhaul the whole thing to remove the requirement for installing the EUC codecs to create your own sets, as well as add SKIP code support, after becoming a convert to their lookup system recently.
Cheers!
