This is brilliant. Really. Deutsche Grammophon, which had an enviable position at the top of the recording industry for classical and orchestral music, has set up a download site to get the music for your ipod or other player: click here.

They are recorded at a high bitrate, and they sound REALLY STUNNING. I "hear" where the instruments are in the orchestra as it plays on my ipod, and I get fabulous detail.

The downside? The downloads are massive (32mb zip file per cd is a good guess), so don't bother with a dialup connection. You need DSL or cable.

What is your spirit animal?

Bear Spirit Your spirit animal is the Bear. Fierce, protective and forceful with perseverance in mind. Make sure you look before you leap. The bear spirit is a mighty one, a heart of gold, but a temper that may need to be kept in check.

I've been called a bear before, not always in a complimentary way. I suppose it's something I'll have to correct for.
