I tried the same track on plexamp for windows on another windows machine in my house… and it worked fine… It’s just that one computer. I even tried Uninstalling/Installing plexamp. But you could be right about the codecs. I do know Shark codecs were installed on the working machine… I’ll have to ch…

Huh, never even heard of those, but glad you got it working!
