Hi, Dave -

You don't hear the entire recording of the informant in each case, but I heard enough to be very satisfied. I'm still jealous of Larmarca and others who have the printed edition because there's something nice about having a book in your hands, but I can smugly say that I have many, many features that they don't have. Since I don't sight-read very well, it's nice to have the music in a form you can hear. I think Don and Jim did a wonderful job of the CD-ROM. Maybe we should negotiate with them to see if we could get the Digital Tradition in a similar package.

And I meant to tell Jim Payne and Don Walsh that after I figured out how to do the move the "hard way," I found that they have instructions in their Help utility that would have made it a lot easier - if only I had taken the time to read the instructions....

I installed the entire CD on my hard drive, which makes it a lot more convenient. Now I can put the disk in permanent storage and not have to go looking for it every time I want to look up a song.
