Some months it's nothing, others its gobs. that's totally awesome "Good Karma", don't you think? and, for me, emusic has a really great dance/electronic selection. I thought it would be a good idea to ping you and IP on the occasion of this mornings announcement by emusic that they have upgraded their Sound Quality -- they have just re-encoded their catalog with VBR encoding using LAME version 3.92. in addition, they also upgraded and released a new download manager that supports Windows (natch!), but also both Mac OS 9 & OS X as well as Linux (anything missing? ;) a little closing music tip, if i may: "Hi-Fi Sounds For Young Norwegians" by http://www.Slowpho.com at http://www.emusic.com/cd/10710/10710129.html -- there is a great d'n'b vocally track called "Porn" that is awesome, IMHO :)) an enthused & happily paying emusic customer, geoff http://www.beat.net http://www.alcoholbar.cz =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- geoff.goodfellow () iconia com * Prague - CZ * telephone +420 603 706 558 "success is getting what you want & happiness is wanting what you get" http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/01/biztech/articles/17drop.html http://www.tapsns.com/members-bio/geoff-goodfellow.shtml ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
