@sonny001 - here I used the images of my top ten AI songs. I like the feel too - but I unfortunately moved so many times that pretty much all of my prized vinyl and shellac possessions are gone now. I have only a few new ones and one old 78 record that took me almost 10 years to find.

Makes me homesick for vinyl record stores. I like CDs, but I wouldn't give up my vinyl collection for anything. Beautiful series.

Ah - Das läuft doch nebenbei. Wenn du auf "Play All" drückst, kommt unten der kleine Player auf den Schirm, und dann spielt die Musik so nebenbei. Das ist dann wie Radio hören.
