Big thanks for the mp3 player. I've often wondered why it wasn't possible to listen to a little of the music before downloading. This way you get a chance to discover first and if interested carry on with the download.

thanks - Joe

Yeah, Riccardo, you' re right.
I must have been relly sleepy, and
didn't check the lower part of the page... Sorry. Thanks a million for
this wonderful tape. I recorded myself a few concerts down at the
Capolinea back in the '80s, so this one feels a bit like home.
Thans again.
