Good choice! I was hoping for the Babylonia Wind CD as I already have Country Dream and play it a few times a week. Good luck!

Any luck? I see one or two on the list that I'd love to grab myself.

Thanks for the input folks; and thanks to Larry for the offer. Yes, I am specifically looking for the BN Works TOCJ and already have the RVG (and agree that it's pretty good). Just trying to fill some gaps in the Works collection. I have never used the proxy solution with CD Japan but I will take a look at that later tonight.

The hunt continues...

Looking for a copy of Ornette Coleman - At the Golden Circle, Volume 2 (TOCJ-4225) in EXC condition with inserts and OBI. Offering $30 + shipping.

Is TOCJ-8720 the only digital release of this album besides the Mosaic? Guess I was lucky enough to purchase a used copy of TOCJ-8720 from a Japanese contact for $35 last week.

CDs arrived Saturday in fine shape and sounding even better. Thanks again Chris!

PM with questions on... Gil Melle - Complete 50's Andrew Hill - Passing Ships Bobby Hutcherson - The Kicker John Patton - Accent On The Blues

PM sent. Thanks!

I have to say that almost all of the "classic" BN output is above average and I have enjoyed them all in one context or another. The only one that I can think of that really turned me off was Jimmy Smith's PLAYS PRETTY FOR YOU. Anyone else agree with that?

PM sent your way!

Just wanted to publicly thank you Alec for taking the time to get this for me. It arrived in perfectly new shrinkwrapped shape and the price was right! From one jazz lover to another...THANKS!

I'll take one if you don't mind going through the trouble. Thanks! Kevin

Felser...is your list up to date? Thanks!

Agreed...but...downloads will be in HD. I'm downloading a 1080p rental tonight on my Apple TV as a matter of fact. However, nothing like watching a Blu-Ray disc! Can't be beat!

Discs arrived in great shape as expected...thanks Shawn!

Please don't miss the Hodges set! You will be sorry later. One of the best sets I ever bought (twice actually). I gave my first set to a friend and then realized this past December how much I missed it and reordered. :tup :tup

PM sent on McLean & Morgan...

Received my package today in great shape. Thanks again! :tup

PM sent! Thanks!

XP was extremely unstable before service pack 1 [sP1] was released. It took around a year for MS to release it. Vista seems to be following the same path. I wouldn't even consider using Vista until the first SP is available given the track record. That said, Microsoft made a test build of Vista SP1 available to the public today so there's relief on the way: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...a/bb738089.aspx Not to down XP at all. I have been using MS software since MS DOS 1.0. Windows XP IS the best OS that Microsoft has delivered to the public to date. Can anyone say Windows ME?

One caveat: A friend recently bought a Mac (switching from PC) specifically to use Logic audio software. He received the new machine and software, only to learn that Logic will not run in Leopard! Trying to "downgrade" to Tiger, he somehow mucked things up. Weeks later, still trying to straighten it out. Probably he bought the wrong version of Logic. The Universal for Mac OS X is the one he needs. I'd return that software for the newer version for sure. I've seen it demoed and it's very impressive.

All new Apples will ship with Mac OS X Leopard installed. It's the latest flavor of the operating system. 1 GB of memory will be sufficient...trust me, you will not be experiencing sluggishness, but of course 2 GB is superior and a notable improvement in all applications will be seen. I bought an extra GB for my MacBook Pro and saved quite a bit more just to pop the chip into the slot myself...you may give that some thought. I cannot give you any suggestions for audio apps because I curently still do that type of work on Windows machines. However I enjoy using my Mac for just about EVERYTHING else and prefer it by far. It's a joy to use and after making this my latest computer purchase I can easily say that I'll buy nothing but Apple computers in the future.
