Well, since it's been a few days I woke up this morning thinking maybe I'll upgrade the software again. In the process of trying to locate the hsx-109 cd I found a Collective Soul CD that wasn't burned so I thought and decided to try changing the recording settings from 320 to 256 and from 96 to 128. I stuck in the cd after changing the settings and we appear to be compressing again.

Pretty Strange.

Do you think I'll be able to tell the diff between 320 and 256?

It appears that for some reason the hsx got hung on either the 320 or the 96 compression any ideas as to maybe why? It has quite a few cd's to compress now; I'll keep you posted.
