Apparently, if they aren't online their shared tracks are unavailable, except in a few rare instances where AG seems to have the track stored on its own servers. Additionally, AG lets you search for FTP servers from which you can also download songs. Sometimes there is a password that is needed, but usually that is listed along with the server info and URL. And, occasionally you have to upload in order to download. I haven't done this as much, but I'm planning on getting into that soon since that is where you are more likely to find entire albums as opposed to the hunt & peck method of searching for single tracks. So, there are user IDs which, obviously, each user has. And there are server IDs which each FTP server has. If you know a specific user or server you can search for them and then browse through all their titles if they're currently online. I've been finding as much stuff on AG as I used to on Napster. I wouldn't wait too long though. I can't see much difference between what AG is doing and what Napster did so I suspect that as more and more people log on there is more and more liklikhood the recording cabal will try to pull the plug on the whole thing.

That's one of the main differences with Napster, Morpheus, WinMX, etc. With these programs the search results are only relevant at that very moment, whereas AG uses a very large database (I think it's cddb, or whatever it's called) for track info. It's my experience that at least 80-90% of the tracks that I que for download actually show up on my hard drive within a couple of days. > I haven't done this as much, but I'm > planning on getting into that soon since that is where you are more likely > to find entire albums as opposed to the hunt & peck method of searching for > single tracks. That's where Hyperku.com can come in handy. It puts entire albums (or at least all their respective tracks) in your download que at once. Unfortunately their site has been down for a couple of days know.

On the 20th, Johanne and I snuck off to Lake Placid and got married, in a private ceremony presided over by Justice of the Peace Horace Pratt (whom I chose for the name -- I imagined he would be like the JOP in the Nicholas Ray movie They Live by Night, and he was, sort of. His wife was our witness.) We did this without telling anyone, which means that, technically, we eloped, though at 47 years of age it seems a little pretentious to say that. There was only one exotica angle to all this -- when we got back to the hotel after the ceremony, and turned on the tv, Bob Hope was leading the Seven Little Foys in the sublime Chinatown number.

RPM200 Like most popular institutions Doctor Who has been spawning record releases ranging from the serious to the cash in almost since the day the TV series began.

From there a number of recordings were made by actors / actresses on the show , plus other spin offs by groups or composers linking their recordings to the show by theme or title. RPM's album collects all these strands together! This is a companion album to the major release programme the BBC have undertaken releasing all the incidental and background music from the TV series and films.) For example - The Go Go's brought out this novelty disc with a girl singer and Dalek voices in between. The Earthlings - first copies of this were banned by BBC Radio as they contained the SOS message in morse. Maclcom Lockyer Orchestra - this was a single that sampled music from the Dr Who & The Daleks film. Roberta Tovey was the actress playing the young girl in the film Dr Who & The Daleks. Frazer Hines played Jamie in the TV series during the late 1960's - Hartnell in to Troughton time. Jon Pertwee - as well known doctor of the early 70's All selections are well known to Dr Who collectors, they have been the subject of chapters in books on Dr Who and trading lists for vinyl collectors. RPM's album is the first time these have been collected together for mainstream consumption. It is anticipated that a second volume will follow up this release , covering the next decade of spin offs. These projects are put together by Dr Who music expert Mark Ayres who has in turn written and recorded music for the TV series and overseen the BBC reissue programme.

Not a single original note of music was produced for it: apart from some choruses the rest is all sampled from Dr.Who or from two glam rock tracks from the 1970s) and an instant no.1 hit in UK in 1988.
