I couldn't get that. It only does a direct URL from the player.

Not a one. Win95 and RealPlayer G2 is what I have. G2 nagged me about an
update, but somehow I wouldn't think that is it as I've played many,
many, many rm files, music, live and recorded video too.
Ah ha! I just thought of something! I have a notoriously slow
connection, did you make the files with some sort of connection speed
limitation? Don't know how they are made but the 14.4K, 28.8K, etc.
minimums are seen all the time.

Yeah, that's it harmonising :}
Sounds like it would be a good CD from what I managed to hear.

P.S.

  Found that IE works out, Netscape is the culprit in my case anyhow. I
then overloaded it by trying 3 *.rm d/l's at once, didn't make it.
The music is superb, just what I like. After I thought about it,
harmonising is not really what I meant after all. More so alternate
lyric lines or such with tonal differences. That Lunaland sounds so much
like Pink Floyd Echoes from the Meddley (sp?) album. Any influences
there? I know. Old, old album... Before Dark Side of the Moon.
Not a bad thing to me anyhow. Not at all. Keep us up to date on the CD.

As usual with me, this is off-topic, but Chroma Key is my liking,
www.chromakey.com

Worth a look if only for the web design.

I'm glad you like it. I've been making these songs for so long on my own that you lose
perspective as to whether it's any good or not. It's good to have these kind of
comments.
I don't like Pink Floyd, so no obvious influence there..mainly the Comsat Angels..a
rather
obscure but cult-like band from the eighties/early nineties. It's great for me that
I'm
actually on the same label as them.

I think I'll put mp3's up there as well, for those ( many ) having problems.

I think I know what the problem is. mp3 files often get garbled in
transmission. There is an app that can fix them, it's called Uncook. You can
get it from here:

Thanks for your kind comments Phil, and to Margus for the Uncook suggestion. I wasn't
aware of this problem, and I suppose I should put a link to Uncook on my site.

I know this is all a little off topic, but if anyone knows why my RealAudio is causing
problems ( ie downloading okay, but playing silence ) on some machines, it'd be
helpfull
to know.
