I have not tried your application yet, largely I realise because I find the name you have chosen for the project utterly repellant. The word has no positive connotations for me at all. I wonder if more people would try, what otherwise appears to be a very cool idea, if you used a name that sounded more appealing? Compare the phrases "Now I'm going to teach you how to use a GIMP mask" and "Those drums would sound better on smack". I'm being deliberately ironic here, but my serious point is how do they make you feel? -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim
