MP3 Players Support

Looks like this weeks growth spurt is topping out now. Can't let all those number one slots go to our heads because someone else could be up there next week and the really competitive heights of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart + MP3 have still to be reached.

Looking around at competitive sites I realised that there is scope for a bit more MP3 player support besides our iPod and iTunes pages. However, the idea that there are PC's out there without MP3 players is a bit hard to believe. The evidence of browser editions strongly suggests that the vast majority have reasonably up to date operating systems which include an MP3 player. I don't think that the folks who are still using windows 95 are doing any browsing on the internet. The old PCs are moldering in cupboards and landfill sites which is a shame - if you are in the UK and you were moved to do something positive about your redundant PC's please visit www.free-computers.org and see if you can help.

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. Some of the steps that have got us to 10.5 have been very disconcerting but the truth is that there is nothing to campare with it for the work that I do. 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...
Persistance does it It is now 15 years since this website was launched. In that time we have had ups and downs - some associated with Google algorithm changes but this year we seem to have seen steady growth in visits and some dramatic download volumes. It looks as if we might reach 1000 giga bytes of download this month for the first time ever.  Our global reach is wider - although Indonesia and India still account for over 25% of visits we had visits from 126 countries in the last week exceptions include Uragauy and some sub sahara countries. The bulk come through organic Google searches with the next largest share coming from our daily tweets. 

Downloads a plenty

Hadn't really looked at the download stats in the new suite except to see what was managing to get into the top ten alongside Beethoven. So far this May we have had nearly 41000 complete downloads and 55000 incomplete downloads. As you'd expect the incompletes are concentrated in the popular long pieces like Beethoven symphony movements. For some reason (probably alphabetic do you think) Scott joplin's Weeping Willow was the least popular along with 50 others on just one complete download out of the 800different MP3 files downloaded. Perhaps more analysis later.
