'Multi-Track Packs' it is then!

Well the Discount Package is installed and we have crystallized Multi-Track Pack in the graphics.

Multi-track is a recording terms so there is just a hint of a little pun there.

There is still one little wrinkle to smooth out but generally it seems to be testing out OK. So a little bit of detective work to be done and then we can get back to the music.

Looking at the links to us on Alta Vista it is evident that all our htm pages are there including the streams directory which has a file for each piece but the multi-track shop (php) pages have not appeared yet.

Here is your next treat from Debussy's Children's Corner Suite - a lofi sample of our original percussion arrangement of Jumbo's Lullaby.

Worldwide audience

In the last month Download2MP3 was reached from 169 countries with the remaining gaps being a few countries in North Africa. These days most visits are going direct to one of the big name composer pages although the ragtime category is holding it's own. The last twelve months or so have been a dry patch interms of producing more recordings but I'm pleased to report that the technical issues which been related to various software upgrades. I have been using Cubase for at least 25 years not on an Atari but an Acorn with an external roaland Sound Canvas synthesiser which was purchased in London's Tin Pan Alley.

For years our Mozart arrangements failed to achieve the recognition they deserved but in the last few months this has changed. Our Mozart page has move up the Google and Yandex search results and now benefits substantially from the high level of interest in this composer. Just wondering what I need to do to help Bach keep up. There are some odd features to the usage of our site - some of it almost looks like streaming as gigabytes are down loaded or there are thousands of page hits from what is reported as a Russian search index robot.

According to Google India and Indonesia are still the mainstays of our audience with Nigeria and South Africa nudging in just below the USA. So it seems we are supporting developing countries just not in the way orgiginally envisaged.
