Great stuff! Thanks for the weblink.
I have bought quite a few Mainspring Press books and they are great also. Check out their titles!

None of their sound links will work for me, since about 2 months ago. I can somewhat laboriously extract the addresses from their "source code: & download them that way.

Humm, odd. I wonder if it may use the Adobe Flash system (many of the on-line players do) and you don't have Adobe Flash on your computer? If you don't, it is a free download.Edisone wrote:None of their sound links will work for me, since about 2 months ago.
