I'm playing with something that, if I recall correctly, will make a lot
of y'all happy. It's a flash-based audio player loaded with all the mp3s

I could find by the bands playing this week (the ones listed on
trianglerock.com, at least). It's linked from the very bottom of the
frontpage at trianglerock.com, or you can get to it directly here:
http://www.ibiblio.org/ch-scene/audio/

Once I'm happy with it, it will be easily findable/linkable from various

points on trianglerock.com, so don't worry too much about bookmarking.

Try it out, see what breaks it, etc.

It used to resize yr browser window, so as to make it easier for you to
drag it off to one side & keep it going while you browse, but I decided
it was less-evil to leave it alone & let you resize, or multi-tab, or
whatever. It's your browser.

p.s. BANDS: If you don't make your MySpace MP3s download-able, then (a)
you suck (;-)) and (b) I can't include them in this doodad. Your call.
