Interestingly, today (I think) iTunes announced access to free music. 
Maybe it's in there? I may take you up on your offer if this doesn't pan 
out. Often 1 hour of music can be put on mp3 for about 10-15M. That's 
about all mail will hold.

I'm headed out of town (hopefully) in about 10-12 days for a 3 week 
trip. I'll be working on the DVD in July--I hope!
