Thanks Ken for responding.
The chip is a 4.1 I purchased a ccc off ebay that was (supposed to be good) the chip was already in it.
Remember that the cd's are in a sony 300 mega-changer with a cd100sny adapter interfacing it to the rowe cd 100b jukebox.
I will try to explain what it is doing.
It will play the first 12 seconds of a song about 2 or 3 times, then it will play the whole song.
I can not put in more than 1 song at a time. If I have a song playing and punch in another one it will go to that one without finishing the 1st one.
Seems like I remember there being a setting somewhere that limits the length of a song, but I can't find it in the manual.
I have reset it to default settings but I'm not sure about all of the other detailed settings, it has some that are not in my manual.
thanks for all your help
