Glad you got it.

I installed the 32-bit version because that's what my (old) machine 
needs.  I just hadn't checked if all the equivalent 64-bit packages existed.

The mp3 limitation will likely be to avoid any potential legal 
challenges.  The other suggested source in this thread might not have 
the same restriction, but I have no idea how reliable it might be.

I notice that you sent your reply to the list-owner as well as the list. 
  The 'reply' mechanism here seems rather strange but I think you should 
only send to [log in to unmask]

Cheers,
