Warren,I have trouble opening these files as well. There should be an option window pop up that gives you the option of opening or saving the file. If you save the file to your desktop you should be able to play it from there, assuming you have Windows Media Player or iTunes set up to play mp3 files.HTHChuck

if you view source on your taxi page and get the relative url (/stream/231482/The Caper.mp3)then append it to www.taximusic.comhttp://www.taximusic.c ... 0Caper.mp3 You can right click and "open link in new tab, or window.." if desired and it should play immediately.You must replace spaces in the file name with %20 though!There probably is a better way, I haven't played around with this that much yet.Nice job on "The Caper" BTW!!.. I've attempted a CSI-type as well.... this is my first attempt at this style of music. Would appreciate any feedback! thanks!http://www.taximusic.com/stream/233985/ ... Corner.mp3

hey chuck!wow "breaking and entering" sounds very great... polished and just says plain craftsmanship to me! I could almost see the scene in my head.

We all agreed that it is critical to come up with a catchy phrase for a name. A music supervisor is looking for a track and he has two CDs.If he reads the label and one says:Crime Drama 1Crime Drama 2Crime Drama 3And my label says:Breaking and EnteringLast ChanceThe CaperFind the NukeHe is probably going to listen to my tracks first.This is the same reason why restaurant chains spend big bucks on naming items on their menu.I go to Pei Wei Asian Bistro (PF Changs casual dining chain)One of the dishes I like is "Dan Dan Noodles", a name that sounds interesting and slightly exotic. They could have named it "Noodle Dish 1 ". I probably would have never ordered it.Just some thoughts on making the effort to "market" a track with a name.Unfortunately, libraries frequently rename tracks. They understand this concept as well. I usually like my titles better. Chuck

Chuck,I agree 100% with you. However it is one thing to name an instrumental track to something interesting, another thing to describe it so good as you did

... PanosP.S. maybe "Dan Dan Theme" would be an exotic title? maybe so, but a useless one
