Calling Trevski - Sounds
dug a bit and one version of quicktime alternative had probs but says latest hasnt link here https://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickT...Alternative.htm havent used this but as going by below seems usefull for firefox users and maybe for msie as well - added it QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player. It also supports QuickTime content that is embedded in webpages. Download As a bonus, Internet Explorer will play all QuickTime movies that are embedded in a webpage. You do need a media player that is capable of playing QuickTime files. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. The QuickTime Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla. The QuickTime plugins include iPIX and QuickTimeVR. Features of QuickTime Alternative 1.40 : - Media Player Classic [version 6.4.8.2] - QuickTime Codecs [version 6.5.2.10] - QuickTime DirectShow filter - QuickTime plugin for Internet Explorer - QuickTime plugin for Opera/Mozilla/Netscape - QuickTime Control Panel - Extra plugins for QuickTime Changes from QuickTime Alternative 1.39 to QuickTime Alternative 1.40 : - Fixed problem with Ir50_qc.dll.

just when you thought...... what browser you using Chalkie as you once said using avant way it should work is if browser msie and have win media player vers 7 it should play it via that if using something else - it should play it with browsers default mp3 player sounds like it is doing this with yours ?? as theres no reference to quicktime this end, so has to be coming from your end ?? still scratching me head on it all so bear with us, and hopefully get a 100% way

Jaw Dropper On Site
State of shock today, when it was noticed that someone not only started up a soulblog but actually posted up in it!!! Once recovered, thought draw attention to it, and just throw out a few words on feature in case missed it before Basicallly the soulblog is a free online soul source feature for all members Blog is a sort of own personal website, it can be used in trad style as a sort of a diary, or collection of thoughts, ramblings rants and so on but also can be used by members for many soul related stuff, maybe usefull for events without a web site , djs playlists , sellers lists, wants lists, flyers, reviews, just got in thoughts, and so on a seperate sort of not site connected thing each members site has its own personal url /blog/mike-/ easy to use - if can post in the forum, then as uses same system should be easy gets syndicated via rss and other stuff link to soulblog page is /index.php?automodule=blog link to andys one /blog/andy%20bb/ help page for blog /index.p...&CODE=01&HID=17 ok push over, but recommend check out andys though, its a enjoyable read and laugh ta mike

Ebay Highest Bids Over 100 Returns
just pass on that the return of the "ebays highest bids over 100 " block on front page and the more detailed bit following link at bottom of block search based on "soul" in titles and descriptions and are ones that have had bids over 100 $, so all should be already in public eye and so dont reckon feature gives anything away interesting that 2 x joe jama's up there other feeds inc southern soul, alt.music soul are up but feature not 100% back yet , so if anyone got any rss/atom soul related feeds that think be worthwhile or like to see added throw them this way and see what can do

ta for replies, all extremely helpfull mp3s in gallery hopefully solved problem with mac and scripting better so pc doesnt have probs but as always with this sorta crap - dont know till you tell us (works ok this end on msie 6, with wma and firefox,with quicktime plug in) boring stuff problem with the setup for mac was that found out that mac version for windows media player only plays wma/wmv clips - so as was asking it to play mp3s it wouldnt work ...derrrr set up now so should now open default browser mp3 player on macs?? not sure why/how it messes up your pc setup Alison, but have changed script to a more offical version , so hopefully it solved it ??? real audio, quicktime, wmv, wma's in gallery should all work ok hopefully solved the problem with mp3 format in gallery, idea behind way it is setup is so that all sounds in all formats stream and avail to all a mp3 format that is long enough to test the streaming but not too long is here /index.p...cmd=si&img=2792 as always let us know if problems trying to get this finally nailed down , so all feedback appreciated ta mike

his time in europe brings thread back to films dont think its a fairly well known track (could be wrong) , but he signs a more bluesy/jazz style track called "adam and eve" on a film called eva from 1962 set in italy and to tie in with previous posts, film is a french one by company called paris films or similar tracks on soundtrack lp and poss on french ep can push sound clip up if any wants listen barry norman- Calling Trevski - Sounds

one to me that sounds so so much better when played out and clip doesn't do it justice interesting story behind the group name as well - think Maria posted it on here somewhere- Sad News - Tyrone Davis
Veteran R&B singer Tyrone Davis dead at 66 Updated at 22:52 on February 9, 2005, EST. CHICAGO (AP) - Veteran rhythm-blues singer Tyrone Davis died Wednesday, four months after he had a stroke that left him in a coma, his business partner said. He was 66. Davis was taken to hospital in September and was undergoing rehabilitation at a suburban Chicago nursing home at the time of his death, Leo Graham said. Davis began his career in the 1960s and his baritone voice and warm and romantic singing style made him popular in the 1970s. He was best known for the hits Can I Change My Mind and Turn Back the Hands of Time for the Dakar label. Davis moved to Columbia Records in 1976, where he recorded several hits, including Give It Up (Turn It Loose) and the ballad In the Mood. As his popularity faded in the 1980s, he was released by Columbia, though he continued to record. He was promoting his latest release when he had the stroke, Graham said. Born in Greenville, Miss., Davis came under the influence of blues legends Bobby (Blue) Bland, Little Milton and Otis Clay. He sang at clubs in Chicago before landing his first recording contract.
