I occasionally post to these list about tracks I've done and put
up as real audio, and the feedback I get is underwhelming.  So please
take a minute and answer a few questions.  Reply by private E-Mail, and
I'll post results.

1. Can you access streaming audio from your most-used 
   computer/terminal/whatever? Download files and listen to
   them off line?

2. What bandwidth connection do you usually use?
   (2400, 9600, 14,400, 28.8, 33.3, 56k, ISDN, T1, T3)

3. Do you occasionally have access to a high bandwidth connection
where you can check out music?

4. What audio file formats (and streaming formats) can you handle?
   (Mpeg3, Real Audio, Wav, AIFF, Liquid Audio, other)

5. When someone posts about a real audio file, do you listen to them?

6. Would you ever purchase a CD from an artist directly based on
   real audio samples?

7. Are you sick to death of Kent Williams and his crappy-ass tunes he
   keeps pimping on his web site?

Oh and here's a new track ;-) "Nicotinic Acid"

http://soli.inav.net/~kent/music/nic.ram or
http://tutti.inav.net/~cadsiweb/kw/nic.ra (for downloading)

And nicotinic acid has nothing to do with either cigarettes or
LSD, though I like that it makes you think of both.
