Oops I should have said - I've been a Beta user for such a long time now that I've forgotten most of the limitations of 1.2.x I'm actually using 1.3.14 Beta (and 1.3.15 Alphas - I'm part of the QA & documentation team).

Speaking of which . . .WC, if ClickRepair needs 32bit .wav files I’m afraid that pretty much rules it out since I have an existing backlog of almost 40Gb in 16bit format waiting for a light scrub.
