I often read lists or IRC while waiting for an export to finish, or a software package to compile, or a Rosegarden MIDI track to get dumped into Ardour, or listening to other music. So I just dl the file, and then listen to it later. Sometimes *much* later.

Hi Ken,

I'm definitely the guilty party for that one. Btw, did you hear the 
version with the added environmental sounds or just the guitars ? The 
latest version of that piece is available here if anyone else wants to 
listen :

    http://linux-sound.org/meditation-improv.ogg

I might do a little more to it yet.

Not sure about that one, could you send it to me via email or post it 
somewhere ? I'll know right away if it's one of mine.

You're right, it's a good idea, I'll start tagging my files.
