Pretty nice. And the presence of "Time KA> Waits For No One" *almost* makes the Anthology worth having. :-) KA> It's still like a tease. It sure is! Especially when combined with "Nice, Nice, Very Nice" and "Holdin' On To Yesterday" from the same album. It sure is nice to have those songs in pristine digital sound, ...but it just makes me drool for "Make Us All Aware", "Mama Frog" and "Drink of Water".

I should be on the 'net soon after Christmas and I'll send them e-mail myself. In the meantime, Happy Holidays to you and yours, Kenneth.

It's a music cataloging program for Win95, and tracks all the info you mention, and more. You can manually enter the info, but the company also keeps a huge database which you can access via the internet. You connect to their site, pick the albums off a checklist, and then download the info. Sorry, I don't recall the name of the program... GD>>> Don't they get scratched? RM>> Errr..
