Question
I have recorded a piece of music using my son's cassette recorder in the late 70's or early 80'. The cassette was damaged during floods and a number of other natural disasters but I could salvage some parts of the music. I Think the piece was recorded in a famous church but I am not sure. I don't know anything about url's on the web and want to know if there is another way the get the mp3 or part of it to you for possible identification. Your help will be greatly appreciated as this piece of music has great sentimental value to me.

I'm not sure, either. I think you probably should query an Expert in the media arm or geek arm. When you have the thing up let me have the info, and I'll take a listen. Sorry I can't help you with the specifics of the mechanics. Standing by for the music!

>>*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****<<: I do not answer questions marked "private." I don't want to type the same thing to someone else later if I typed it to you already! If you mark your request "private," I will send it back to you requesting you to remove the "private" flag. Thanks for your understanding. Remember, I'm a volunteer.
My answers are not toss-offs. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it.
I have many requests to identify a piece of music. If I can't identify it, I will tell you (1) what composer I think it is; (2) what composer or composers I think it is not; (3) what style period, genre, etc. I think it is or is not. And give you any other help I can to help you find the answer.
Please find a clear clip. In the interest of good computer hygiene, I will not download a clip. Nor will I go to a site where I must "register" in order to hear the clip. Please mount the clip on a public site for which you can give me a direct URL. Thanks for your understanding in this. Remember, I'm a volunteer!
Students, I do NOT do homework questions. The purpose of answering questions on assignments is not only to learn the information, but to LEARN HOW TO FIND IT. Re-read chapter. Look in the index. Look in the references given at the end of the chapter or elsewhere in the book. You also probably can find the answer using Google. Don't be lazy. I wouldn't be doing you any favors by doing your homework for you! I already know the answer. You don't. You need to find it. MORE IMPORTANTLY, you need to learn HOW to find it. That's the whole purpose of education, after all!
