Perhaps I should mention that ....

There was a young fellow called Max
Who kept all his music as Flacs.
He lacked any empathy,
For the old MP3 ...
That's why he missed many good tracks.

    Unlike my other uploads, these are not CD rips but tracks from music sites.

    Therefore, the files are in MP3 or WMA format.

    Bitrates are 180 kbps or higher.

    Yes, I put the album on again this morning and it really did create a playful and harmonious atmosphere... outside the birds were singing, and all the world was of one voice :) Thank you!
