Okay, now maybe we are getting somewhere.

Can you tell us:

* what sound or media programmes you have on your computer, and
* what sort of computer it is, e.g. Apple Mac or PC, and also what version of Windows, e.g. Windows 95, 98, XP, etc

My computer (a PC, with Windows XP) has a programme called Windows Media Player, and I can copy a CD track really easily with that. I need to know whether you have that programme, or a similar media programme which plays audio files.

I imagine that RealPlayer and similar free programmes would have the capability to copy tracks off CD's as well.

This would be a lot easier than recording you singing or playing, because in my (limited) experience of trying to record sounds I have found that your computer has to be configured *just right* to get it to work properly.

If you don't currently have a programme which can copy CD tracks, that's not a huge problem either. There will be a free downloadable programme somewhere on the net which will do that.

Your friend who made the copy of the CD could probably quite easily make a copy of just that one track, store it as a file, e-mail you a copy, or give it to you on a disk, and you can then e-mail it to me.

If I can't identify it I'm sure other Mudcatters can, so I will find somewhere to put the file, either in Mudcat or on my own home page so that others can listen to it.
