Hi Matt,
Well thanks for the advice, success!

The *.* I had entered incorrectly using brackets so that allowed me to see all the files in vlan and BIB to see them. I got the error message on several of them but their properties were not .WAV so I deleted them.
I then returned to vlan and flagged up convert, then audio, then selected .wav, then the toolbox symbol and it confirmed your settings
codec .wav; birate 128kb/s: channel 2: Sample rate 44100Hz.
Back to ACW and it transferred it no problem and displayed chords.
So many thanks, I'll try another file now!
