Sorry, that does sound a bit ungrateful, doesn't it?

It was getting late when I was testing it, and I'd been battling with the navigation problems to get me to a point where I could start playing a recording, so I only performed a quick test. From what I saw though, it was spot on.

Hopefully I'll get some proper testing done tonight to make sure!

Bugger.
I wish I could help more than moaning about the problems I'm experiencing - I feel very unhelpful on this issue!

That sounds great. Again, let me know when you have something built that you would like me to test and I'll download it ready for when I get home tonight.
