lol - so I should send it after your exams have finished then? ;)

btw - they're not mp3s. I ripped them with iTunes. The extension is .m4a, and it says they're mpeg4 files. Do you have iTunes/can you play that file type? - Or do I need to do you up some audio cds?

m4a should be ok.

I actually believe that I have every driver and codec every created.

He is amazing. Just wish he wasn't so sick now. The Cacophony albums are classic; "Go Off" and "Speed Metal Symphony". Truly inspirational. :D

Yeah, I just downloaded 4-5 Jason Becker albums.

They're pretty hard to find in stores, feel guilty downloading them :oops:

They had a bunch of Becker (and Paul Gilbert - also uncommon in record shops) in Utopia when I was last in Sydney. I love that shop. I should have bought more, but they weren't exactly cheap :? - all being imported jobbys

Sorry man, I couldn't do that. The guy is suffering and every dollar probably counts.

As for Utopia, I agree...awesome store; almost spent a whole day in there when I was last over in Sydney. You did know they have a website now, right? 8) http://www.utopia.com.au/

:(

I know, but usually the only music I download is totally obscure stuff that I dont often see in music stores... but WILL by when funds/items become available.

eg- I've always dl'd BLS albums, but I buy 'em too.

This will go for Beckers stuff too, but at the moment money is a distant dream :(

They're very nice to deal with (they confirm everything via email) and shipped my items pretty quickly. 8)
