Usually I would use Internet Explorer to design webpages but I keep getting
those annoying 'Illegal operation' errors!
Note: If you use Netscape Composer to design webpages, save regularly,
it's very buggy!!

Opinions on MP3, WMA, OGG, VQF and RM
I used various types of music such as Pop, Rock, Classical,
etc. to test the popular audio formats
I give my opinion on the features, advantages & disadvantages I find
for each format
There are my & mates opinions on the quality of each format at various
bit rates and why we prefer MP3
WMA claimed to be 'the best' but after many test songs against other formats
we disliked it the most!

e.g. pressing 0 to do the following sequence: Select channel 3 on the VCR,
press Record, Select channel 37 on satellite and finally select channel
8 on the TV to watch satellite (Handy!, saves the pushing of 8 buttons!)
Midi Files link has been removed
I was getting the odd E-mail from anti piracy webpages such as the 'save
the midi' anti piracy web site.
I decided to just remove the music off my site since there are many
other Midi Web sites out there!!
Anyway, I have not updated the page since before MP3 came out!

I've written my E-mail address this way due to 'bot' programs reading it and sending me 100's of junk mail every week!! I changed my E-mail address to that above and drawed it in paint so hopefully this will reduce the amount of spam! Note that any E-mails containing any sort of adult content or fordged E-mail addresses are automatically deleted by filtering software without me ever seeing them! Ever since I set it up, I've never lost an important E-mail due to it being mixed up with spam and less than one spam E-mail reaches my Inbox per week. My trash gets pretty full though ;)
