1980 Joseph Soundtrack

I'm experimenting here, and trying to make the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat soundtrack publicly available.

It has been converted into individual Mp3 tracks (as listed below) much like the stuff you'd add to an iPod.  To keep the file sizes down, the Mp3s I'm releasing are only sampled at a 64,000 Hz bitrate.  (Personally, I reckon that's more than sufficient, as the human ear can only hear 20,000 Hz maximum, but many puritans release their Mp3s at 320,000 Hz these days.  Overkill, and much larger file sizes IMHO).

Anyway, let's get down to tin tacks.  The files have all been uploaded to a free fileserver called "FileDropper" http://www.filedropper.com/.  You can click the links on this page, you'll be taken to the Filedropper host page, which will open in a new window.  Make sure you scroll down and click the "Download this File" icon (and none of the other click-bait that they put up). 

After you type in the Captcha characters it should then send you the Mp3 file.  You can either Open it or Save it.  Choose Open if you only want to deal with the file once, and it should open into an Mp3 player and start playing for you.  If you want to keep it for future use, then select Save and choose a spot on your hard drive to save it to. (It might pay to make a directory for the Joseph soundtrack as there are 22 files).
Rinse and repeat as necessary, trying to keep track of which file you're up to if you're getting the whole thing!  Sorry about all the ads from the fileserver, but it is a free service, and that's obviously how they pay for it.  I might revise this all one day as it does seem a bit cumbersome, but for now, please persist.  If you only want one or two files, it's not a problem.
