  Yes, I had a special delivery item not delivered within its promised period, and claimed back the charge. IIRC it's easy enough through the website.

  Interesting. I wonder whether your CF installation is currently running properly! How long have you ben using it? Do you have the no_plugin_autodisable flag set (if you don't know, then you don't)? When using the WebIF, do you get a "some packages have been disabled" message pop-up?

  128kbps stereo means two separate 64kbps channels, whereas joint stereo exploits the similarity between the L and R channels by encoding both together. If the signal is actually more-or-less mono, you're effectively getting 128kbps. I've not tried to compare these, but it seems a shoe in to me...

  Sounds like a problem at the server. If the app has no "help" access to technical support, I don't fancy your chances getting anything useful out of EE.

  Not in the least, a pragmatic solution. Chasing that fault would have been a great consumer of time better spent elsewhere.
