Anyway, here's my question.... Does anyone know where I can get MP3s of "Hibernaculum", "Tubular World", and/or "A New Beginning"? I've been searching through millions of Mike Oldfield sites (this is my fav that I have found) and have only found MIDIs of these songs. I want to play them on my website which I am still constructing. I particuarly would like these songs because they fit the surroundings and basis of my site (you'd have to see it to believe it). When and if I finish my site, I will be sure to put up the address for you all to see it. If anyone knows where I can find these songs in MP3, it would be most appreciative. Thanx!

Your chances of finding some there are a lot better than people's web pages. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect. Back to top

MIDIs are better for web sites as they are small, but you might not want them as they can lose some of the elements of the original piece (although CarstenKuss might disagree). A lot of people using the Internet these days don't want to wait ages for graphics and background sounds to load. -Tim- Back to top

But a MIDI will only have 100 kB or so, and will download in half a minute. A full quality MP3 will have 4 MB or so, and will download in 20 minutes. Or you would have to compress it 1:40, and then it would really sound worse than the MIDI. -------------- -Carsten- Back to top

Aqua Panthor Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: Jan. 2001 Posted: Jan. 31 2001, 19:16 Thanx for the welcoming. The site that I go to usually welcomes with nukes and explosions. This makes me feel very civilaized. No, I don't plan to use Napster. For these reasons: 1.) I don't want to take the time to download it. If it's something I don't really NEED, then I don't download it. 2.) I heard this morning that Napster is having some money problems with AOL or something. I don't want to get into that big economical mess. And after hearing that it will take longer to load, then I guess I'll use the MIDI I already have. But I do agree; it will never replace the original. Thanx for the suggestions and welcomings again! I appreciated it. -------------- Representing everything good, bad, and just strange in life, the Princess is in your presence. Back to top
