Chillin today - recovery mode from weekend.
My 2 CDs by Singer Pur arrived (SP are a wonderful 6piece German choral group - one their new album Memento with the final 3 Rihm Passion motets from 2006,  plus some medieval and some Arvo Part. Excellent, esp the Rihm.
The other one was SOS - Save Our Songs - a collection of novel new arrangements of German Folk Songs - I imagine it might be of interest to some German LJers/filkers. Guten Abent Gut Nacht doen as a bossanova is a favourite.

I was sent their groups bank details to pay for the albums. In the UK it still is not possible to tranfer money between banks without a big charge. My bank told me it would cost 20pounds to transfer the money plus I'd need to fill in a form and bring my passport or drivers licence. They eventually told me I'd be better off posting the cash. Innit marvellous? In a digital age?

Anothe rnuts thing - the online storage space I store all the soundclips of my albums for my website has been taken over AGAIN. Meaning? All the links to every track of the 40+ albums I have clips for will have to be remade. Thats over 400 links to fix. I had a go aty some other alternatives including a free space that does widgets but it didnlt look very elegant, plus there was a widget/commerce place Bizmo which looked like a pallava. Will think on it again when I have a brain back.

 Sold a Celtic Fire CD online. :-)

I don't know if it is any good but ...
... Microsoft are doing a FREE 5Gb shareable online "drive" for sharing files with everyone/friends/just yourself while travelling. You can password protect each level of access and have different files in personal, friends and public areas. So you can share work in progress with other musicians around the world, and have clips in the public space for people to download.

Google are working on something similar but I don't know if it has launched yet.

thanks - I've tried a couple, then some in the fine print don't let you share any music with the world.
Still it looks good and might be the solution.
