Awright, I had also noticed the bug when the line is too long. But I
thought it would never happen there ;)

As for the mp3 files, I really would like you to leave them as oggs, and
link to the winamp plugin. If we want ogg to get more popularized, we
have to behave so. The problem is serious - we must start to force
ourselves to use free formats before asking others to do so. Anyway
recent winamps come with ogg, and most people know what it is, so they
will know what to do. In the future it'll either be ogg, either wma.
Choose your side, comrade! ;)

Uh, another thing, Joseph: could you give more details about what you
are using to compose? I guess you have a big wave table and use a
sequencer (midi?), but which one? Would it be interesting to release
your "source files"? I think some beginner musicians would be glad to be
able to have a look at "how to make" such musics, because they sound
very professionnal, and it's the kind of material that is quite hard to
find.
