Was just thinking the other day that I need a way to get at my hundreds of archives on 360k disks where all my old DOS software is stored. :-) >> I do have CDP here and find the sound from it >> much cleaner than from _any_ W31 CD-audio >> player I can locate.

I begain with short snippets of MP3 code at 128-160k bps of only 30-45 seconds of music to keep the size down for legacy hardware users. They're short but great sound. I added the full-length streaming versions after that. I still retain MIDI files on another page both for POP tunes and a Christmas MIDI music page plus RA, WMA, and MP3 streaming audio Christmas on separate pages. Lots of music here. :-) Charles Angelich The Ghost in the Machine!
