Press Release

Just a slight delay on the Press Release - we had an unscheduled day out yesterday.

Here is the release which has gone to the online distributors - should come out on Sunday all being well. You can read it here first:

Multi-Track Shop Opens at Download2MP3.com Today


The online source of original percussion arrangements of selected classical pieces - Download2MP3.com had a new shop extension fitted out today. Powered by osCommerce the new shop enables customers to use a shopping cart to select several tracks, benefit from a 20% Launch Discount on orders of four tracks or more and charge it to PayPal or one of the major payment cards.

BitPass continues to an excellent service to customers purchasing one or two tracks and the new multi-track store provides an alternative route for those putting together a more significant selection.

In both cases a lofi streaming sample from each track is available so that customers can hear what they are buying up-front.

The shop stocks MP3 files of digital recordings of musical arrangements based around Steel Drums. Those involving the Marimba were inspired by the extraordinary work of Evelyn Glennie and those with the Mega Moog synthesizer by Emerson Lake and Palmer. The files are quite large (typically about 4 Meg for 3 minutes of music) but that is no problem to the increasing numbers of customers with Broadband access to the internet.

Note to Editors:

HiFi Review copies of a reasonable number of tracks will be made available to bona fide journalists on application to the Webmaster at www.download2mp3.com


Here is one more lofi streaming sample of our original percussion arrangement of a Scarlatti Harpsichord Sonata - K023 in D Major - have a good weekend.

Shopping Online – Protect Yourself

A slight change of tack - I though that the following article makes a good point: Shopping Online -– Protect Yourself These days, there are great bargains to be found by shopping online. Many items that previously were only available in stores are now being bought and sold online every day. Books, cds, DVDs and electronics are all growing in popularity as online purchases.

More and more stores are putting up websites that allow you to make online orders and even supermarkets now let you do your grocery shopping online and they'’ll deliver the goods to your door.

Online auction sites such as eBay are experiencing phenomenal success. These types of purchases however carry the risk that you do not really know w

Introducing Children To Music… Strategies For Success

While we struggle to restore full menu fuctionality We thought you'd like to hear about a more uplifting topic: Introducing Children To Music - Strategies For Success I've heard a million parents lament the fact that they didn'’t get their children interested in music sooner. There are also hundreds of adults out there that wish they had learned how to play an instrument when they were younger. Studies actually support the idea that music stimulates certain brain connections and can actually help children grow smarter! Music also provides an invaluable outlet for safe expression of feelings and emotions, and can also serve as an important learning tool throughout your children's lives! Music helps educate in many ways, by developing children'’s memory skills and nourishing their spirit. Now, some children are a bit resistant to music at first, but you can easily find ways to encourage them to enjoy music in many different forms early in life. You need to simply adop

Visitor Volumes down - not sure why

Yes the puzzle continues. We know that there has been a significant Google update but the impact on our SERPs has generally not been too significant - the usual crop of ups and downs spiced up by the odd disappearance. But the last couple of days have been 25% down on the previous working day run rate. Remember - don't panic over a couple of day's figures! So we are going to have a long weekend - back next Wednesday (for our small faithful band of regular readers). This trip will be a test of some technology we are planning to take on a much longer excursion later in the year - so we may improve on that if we find Wifi hotspots in North Wales. If you are one of that faithful band it would be fascinating to hear from you. This daily exercise in one way communication gives focus to my morning review of yesterday's data but the complete absence of response is a bit weird. I have to say it is matched by the lack of response on the SEO board where I have zero credibility and
