Maybe the credits for commercials should just be made available, like via a website or something like that. So rather than say "Hunts Ketchup, soundtrack provided by Ryoji Ikeda", ther would just be a little www.hunts_ketchup.com URL on the botom, which has a link to the commercial's credits. np: v/a "ColdKrushCuts" West Disc _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA Visit my Fila Brazillia/Pork Recordings fan site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "Because success needs killing" TRICKY
