Hi Peter, Thanks for getting back to me. The waveform button is at the bottom right of the timeline. When I click on it, the waveform (either mixed or with left/right channels) should be displayed. It does not. This seems to be a problem with my XP system as I am successful in displaying it under Vista. I have one question related to version 6 that I have not tried. I noticed in 5.6 that if I was using a mp3 vbr, it was very difficult to synchronize photos & music as moving the cursor within the track had unreliable effect. Do you notice the same issue with version 6? Thanks Eric
