You might be able to download all of the tracks by going directly to
this webpage. If not, start
here.
You may notice, on
the download webpage, that four of the tracks show 0:00 lengths. I don't know the reason for that, but when you start to download them you will notice that there definitely is something in the files.
You may remember that we had a problem with a track on a previous offering by Alexander Street. I have started listening to the MP3 tracks on this most recent offering, and if I detect any problems I'll let you know later this evening. I may not be able to listen to all of the WMA tracks tonight.
