This looks very interesting - and thanks for sharing.
I've downloaded it, and read the notes on how to burn mp2 files, but I can't seem to decompress the .rar file to get at the mp2 files in the first place. I use a Mac and have tried both StuffIt and UnRarX, but both come up with errors.
Any suggestions or help?
Many thanks.

Sorry, I can't help with Mac issues... have you tried searching around? I'm not sure it was discussed here, but it certainly was discussed in the internets...

Jazzjet said...

Thanks. I managed to download it eventually and burn a CD using your iTunes tip. Excellent concert. Thanks for posting.
