Note: As you download a track, a 'quicktime' (on a mac) or similar player will appear - you will hear the track as it downloads On completion you need to save the piece; go to 'file' and 'save page as' to your desktop, or where-ever else you store music files
We'd like feedback on this new 'download' section, both from the content and the download technology (which I realize is a bit shaky!) aspects There are many more sounds and pieces here - waiting loading; if you like particular categories more than others, please tell me ..
