Dave thanks for continuing to look into this, I set it aside right now as it was frustrating me too much, but I will give you code a shot in the next few days and see what happens. I will re-breadboard it later this week and give your code a try.
The only settings that differ on my setup is that I wasn't using CTS/RTS flow detection, but just the same I'm getting responses from the Vmusic (like the "Stopped" to signify end of song) so i know that communication both ways is working.
Again thanks for the help, I'll let you know if it works.
