I dont...it's IIS Management 7...can't get into the app...& GoDaddy won't freakin' do it for me.

you can still use VB script in ASP pages for redirecting:
Code:
< %@ Language=VBScript %>
< %
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", http://www.example.com
%>
If you allow asp instructions to be used in .htm pages, you will have a SEO 301 redirect.

please explain what page this snippet goes into (although I'm assuming it's the old site's main page, on the old domain)...& where in the code it's placed. (I've tried these various scripts...php, asp, etc....above the doctype, below the doctype, everywhere. what makes this one different?) also...what good is an SEO redirect only (unless I'm not understanding you). I suppose that
would be ok...as that alone would preserve my SE ranking. & what's there now is a nice little graphic page explaining that the new site is on it's own domain, w/ a link. if the above works...might not be a bad option.

not sure I understand the 180 degree flip, there...
...but...on their current server...the .wma's hiccup. WMP opens after clicking the link...states that it's 'connecting to media'. then there's a quick flash of 'locating media'...then back to 'connecting to media'...then the file plays, but starts 1/4 of a second into the music. the whole shebang only takes about 5 seconds (which may be a long time, I don't know)...but I don't like the music starting late.
maybe I should just migrate over to a Linux server...& stream mp3's.

Another option is to use .htaccess file.

DOES NOT work on a Windows server (at least not mine...& also confiremed by GoDaddy).
