OK I've downloaded this. Anyone interested in sharing iTunes content please PM me..

I wonder how long before they get sued by the RIAA?

Well : a) files arent displayed online
b) you cant browse for other (random) members of the network.
c) friends have to mail you their ids before you can connect with them
so I assume it's OK..

I was referring more to whoever wrote the software, than the people who use it. None of those items you listed would prevent a lawsuit (at least not in the US). However, the tango music is so old that it might be in the public domain now, especially if Keith (at ToTango) can get away with (publicly) selling his collection.

Hmm just looked at his catalog. I dont mind him making money for all his hard work, but he seems to make the ordering quite difficult. I probably need to come back when Im feeling more patient

If you like this piece or any other of that CD feel free to PM me. Just bought it.

Sort of.... but I think you have a background assumption that I have a lot of tunes in the first place. Which I dont have.

How do you get into the DJ "network" in the first place?

God knows. I didn't even know there was a DJ network...

If you're around Neg's next month, have a chat with Warren, he's probably got some tips - although his stuff will probably be nuevo-focussed.

Steve Morrall is typically generous with information about this, have a look at:

and:
(Link no longer working) - I got a lot of tracks from there.

You're welcome to grab anything from my list (I put last night's playlist up today), but it's a pretty feeble selection.

Talking of DJ'ing, the only time I've ever thought 'wow, that was good DJ'ing' (ie actually noticing DJ'ing) was when I went to a milonga where Tony Walker was the DJ. Is he still around??

Yep, he was DJ-ing a few weeks ago in Negracha's in London I think - looked like him anyway.

Ta DB. Yeah I'm fine on the nuevo side (other than the fact that so much of the stuff sucks). It's the classical stuff I need more of.

Thanks to those who have PMed me. It's been helping a lot. I'm shameless though - the more the better.

Hasta luego
