I used to be a stickler for "buy the album" since (according to the artists) "the album tells a story," but so many are one-hit wonders these days, I've been devolved into single downloads.<br /><br />Ah, well.JeffScapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00190641629175438603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-3055716228681134122009-10-25T22:12:49.923+00:002009-10-25T22:12:49.923+00:00Your posting is usually wonderful, AB, so no worri...Your posting is usually wonderful, AB, so no worries.

I need to fatten up on my music as I do need the enhancement.<br />As a footnote, I was going through my basement stuff and found from my late wife's family an very old album full of children's phonograph records. Cardboard with some sort of plastic coating on them to burn the grooves. Also children songs that I have never heard.L.

I have been on the look out for such software for ages - something like an old-fashioned database but which can handle, manipulate and collect together MP3 files in a variety of different ways. If you find one - or if someone else knows of one - let me know.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-56663240882345283472009-10-23T13:15:01.325+01:002009-10-23T13:15:01.325+01:00Moaning?
