iPod Compatible Web Site

For reasons that passeth my understanding it seems that nobody visits our home page - despite all our efforts to make it attractive and informative only the spiders visit. So there has been an overhaul inspired by our wordtracker delvings and we are now emphasizing the opportunities we provide to buy original music online from an iPod compatible website.

We have also added an iTunes Help page for those concerned about how to import mp3 music into iTunes .

There are also pieces about our music genre and listening to music online but more of that tomorrow.

In the meantime here is a clip from Scott Joplin's Solace for the people of the Southern States whose life has been turned upside down by hurricane Katrina.

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.

I have also acquired some exciting new instruments in the last few months to augment the stalwarts which saw this site get underway. So the Covid19 Lockdown is giving me the time to produce more recordings wh...

Carl Maria von Weber MP3s

Weber is particularly well known for his meliflouous clarinet concerto and we are lucky enough to be able to offer 9 minute of the Andante rendered on marimba, xylophone and steel drums. The marimba does a good job on the clarinet part but in some respects the drums steal the show - the sunny Caribbean sound just makes you want to smile and so the lofi clip from this piece is today's streaming sample . The real discovery for us however was the Rondo Briliante which truly lives up to its name. We have rendered it on harp, vibes and steel drums which is particularly effective on the long rippling runs. For the time being you will have to visit our website www.download2mp3.com/schumann_etc.htm to hear the clip from this one.
