especially when the other business driven fella said he could spit out a shitload of programmes of equal quality for what RNZ gets now.
Apart from the fact that he just made that up, and seemed to have no understanding of what Radio New Zealand actually does.

And natural edifices enhanced for the wind to whistle through sounds like a wicked idea. I'm sure there'd be Creative NZ funding for that :)
Not quite natural structures, but there are artists with interests in that direction, notably Chris Cree Brown.

Why can't someone else just pay for my music for me?
I don't remember saying that.

complaints that the same music available for free on the internet is of lower quality
Danyl, are you saying that audio quality doesn't matter in the dissemination of music (of whatever genre)?
And that assumes that everyone has access to good broadband. Good luck if you live in a rural area.

James Gardner's excellent Zappa series was originally made for (and by) Concert, a few years ago. Very good to hear it get a second run on National recently.

Where is the National Maori Radio station?
There's a whole network of them.

With the movements broken up into segments, at YouTube audio quality?
I'll stay with FM radio, thanks.Incidentally, the Mahler 8 concert from the Arts Festival will also be streamed (video and audio) on the RNZ website. All part of the service.

My search for a good lightweight word processor that's not Word (but can save and open Word documents) continues, though.
Have you tried Nisus Writer?
Doesn't deal with Word's collaborative editing features, but it does everything else a word processor should. -
Interesting how Mr Baysting's position has shifted. He sounds quite reasonable there.

The album pricing is a good thing with albums of many short tracks, but it also goes the other way, so that albums of few long tracks (especially classical music) cost significantly more downloads than the number of tracks.
Also, there seem to be many more albums with 'album-only' tracks, and multi-disc sets which can only be downloaded all at once.
In the worst case, these cost more credits than anyone has per month (especially if they're not allowing subscribers outside their 'core markets' to upgrade their plans).
In a very short space of time, eMusic have gone from being a service which served my interests very well, to one which appears to treat me with contempt. Grrr.
