I am at the end of a bad internet connection, so I can't web browse the documentation easily, but it is I think in the documentation section on "URL linking". If you can't spot it, email [email protected] . BTW - I would describe this as "uploading track data using a formatted URL" not "downloading track data via a URL" - it's just the perspective of what's up or down :) On 30 Dec 2010, at 09:32, Gregor Rot wrote: > Dear Ewan, > > thank you for your reply.
