Yes, I think I'd get a bit sick of the repeated 'da-dur-dur da-dur-dur da-dur-dur da-dur-dur' refrain in 'Swingin' Safari' if it was played too much, although it is a good swinging number.

I actually prefer 'Walking With Fips' and 'Tootie Flutie' from the same CD.

One of the reasons we haven't started using Traktor in earnest is that each time you start it up, you have to load all the songs into it's own library from Itunes (which can take alot of time). In other words, no drag and drop ability and it doesn't use the itunes library that already exists. From ...

Buying individual tracks online

I am very interested in listening to and buying the music discussed on this thread.

Does anyone know if it possible to buy these tracks online (i.e. downloading them), and if so, which service is best?

Thanks for the continuing replies. So far, 2 people work (and presumably earn some sort of living) in music and dancing. One plays and teaches music. Another performs and teaches dance. Everyone else does different unrelated jobs, frequently IT. So a question to the people who don't work in music or...
