Ahoy there, Sinister Mateys, No, this isn't a pirate-themed message! I checked out the Jeepster page today. It looks quite swell. I checked the "news" section and noticed the tracklisting for Snow Patrol's album. One of the tracks was listed as "Velocity Girl." Might this be a cover of the C86 Primal Scream classic? I haven't even heard Snow Patrol yet (though I wanna ;) but that would certainly be a nod in their favor (or favour) and make me more likely to plop down the price of an import single to hear a band I've never heard before. On the subject of these soundfiles from Stuart David's Treehouse...well you see I have a 33.6 modem, but I'm home for the summer, and we have no phone outlet in my room. So instead of getting a new phone line here, my parents sensibly got me this doohickey which lets one utilize a phone line in another room through a wall electric socket. Neat, eh? Well it sounds neat but practically it's horriffic. It lets you connect, sure, but for modems the baud rate fluctuates between 4800 bps and (rarely) 9600. Anyway, as a result, when listening to RealAudio files from the web, I buffer for a few minutes, hear 10 seconds of Isobel's lovely voice, and then it ends abruptly, before buffering for several more minutes, then returning with 10 more seconds of the song where she left off, then repeating until about halfway through, where it finally just completely crashes. So...(boy I'm long-winded) is there a way to download the whole file, or must it be listened to live only? The same goes for the Looper files.
