Aha - thanks for that!

That was kind of what I was wondering about - didn't realise that amanda
will add it to the rotation, so I thought what happens to the tape then...

I wonder - how will amanda handle labelling the new tape, then?  Will you be
asked to label it first, manually, or does amanda label it automatically?

Thanks!
