Comments, Fantastic! I still cannot believe it but it's more than 11 hours of music in the same
quality as on the audio CDs (I cannot tell any audible degradation). The format used is MPEG Audio
Layer 2 with moderate compression. The documentation is made in HTML and can be viewed directly from
the CD-ROM with any web browser. The layout of the nice Great Dane book has been kept to the same 4   
column layout - so it might be be necessary to scroll a lot when using low screen resolutions.
The music files are organized on a per-show basis. Plays from within the book under Netscape
(but needs lots of MBs on the harddisk for temporary files) as well as directly from CD-ROM when
just launching a player. Various    players are included. What else can I say? Well, LQE have really
done a nice job. The many errors (spelling, grammer and factual) of the Great Dane book have been corrected.
The product is based on totally open standards (HTML and MPEG audio) so I'm sure I'll still be enjoying
it in 10 years on whatever fancysystem. A definitive must-have.   10/10
