    1. You like Rossini..You like Beecham!!!

      (I think the Concert Hall Rivoli/Geneva LP is pretty good too; though the Fricsay LPM only sounds good on Heliodor - partially c/w Verdi..)

  2. GREAT Lp edition, sounding better than ANY later ones...

    But, just a heads up to you. I have Win XP SP3, and Mega will not run on my browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) -- so I tried to DL the version of Opera that they say they support. However--wouldn't you know: it will not install in Win XP!

    Tried Firefox--same problem.

    So, just a word about the limitations of Mega for those of us with older OS's.

    Thanks.

    1. Oh!
      Well I run Vista - using the same 3 Browsers - so wasn't aware of any such problem with Mega downloading via XP...which I wouldn't have expected to be the case - and I'm not sure that Opera is too compatible with Mega (at least I only upload via Firefox).
      Maybe if you ask-around there will be an answer...possibly some 'downloader' program will help??

      I've anyway no option but to use Mega for most files; in fact was going to transfer the remaining Zippy onto Mega!
