Rob--
There is likely still an issue with uploading WAV files.
I have a Sansa Clip+ MP3 player. It's inexpensive, very small, and works extremely well with the Microsoft Sync system in my car (a Ford Fusion). While the Sansa player does not appear to enforce digital rights management (DRM) per se, it flatly refuses to play back an MP3 file that does not have Artist or Title (and probably a few other fields) filled in. (In fact, it doesn't just refuse to play--it produces really odd noises instead.)
A few weeks ago I downloaded a bunch of files from CCH recorded with the Menesterol sound set--and found that less than half could be played. (As it happens, the first problem MP3 file was loaded as I was driving down the Interstate at 65 mph. Talk about distracted driving!)
I'm guessing that the issue lies with WAV file uploads--when the file is converted to an MP3 some/none of the fields get filled in. I don't know if this is true--and haven't taken the time to experiment. Does this ring any bells for you? If my diagnosis is correct, assigning values to the MP3 fields would be very helpful--even if, for instance, it was just a default string like "(CCH Upload)".
Let me know if you'd like me to delve into this. I love CCH, and would be glad to help.
