I had a report of AA20.mp3 causing an iPod to reset when played.  The listener said he had problems with AA19 and AA20, but that they could be played on iTunes and burned to CD just fine.

If anyone has a technical difficulty with the show, please post a comment in this thread so I can follow up.

For what it's worth, AA19 and AA20 play just fine on my 2nd generation iPod.

Also, if anyone's wondering about the show's tech specs... I pull sound bites as AIFFs in Sound Studio, then track and edit the show in Garage Band.  I then export to iTunes where I tag it (including putting the entire script in the lyrics tag), and compress it (60 kbps mono MP3).  I may do AA21 in Soundtrack and start working in an ambient bed under the long runs of narration and commentary to try to sweeten the sound of those segments.
