This is the only thing about OPUS that bothers me.  It doesn't bother me as 
much as you, as I only go 16.8 and I don't have many files over 1 meg to D/l, 
so it's mostly a "cosmetic" thing for me, but I agree with you on your point, 
but then, not many people run OPUS Barefoot anymore.

Signed - a person too damned lazy to switch to Max.
