Cat walked over keyboard and actually sent the previous post uncomplete so
here it is complete..thansk for reading.

I have a lot of files on cd/dvd that i am moving into one folder on my hdd
so i can sort them out before reburning them. However there are quiet a few
mp3 files that have the same name etc but because i converted these at a
higher bit rate they are larger in size, whilst moving them to the folder i
keep getting the "would i like to replace the existing file" and have to
click either yes or no.

Its a pain ...so is there anything out there or anything i can do , that
will only copy/replace the original file if the new file is larger in size..
