Hi,
A while ago I found a MP3 on Napster. It was called 'BBC World 90seconds Countdown'. Can somebody tell me if it was used by the BBC?
You can download it here. (zip file, 1.5 Mb)

This was an unofficial version of the N24 countdown which someone with no links to the BBC (and obviously too much time, too few hobbies!!) made and distributed about Napster and Morpheus under many aliases.
It has never been used on the BBC and is 100% unofficial.

1.4MB for an mp3 version of what's most obviously a MIDI file. Ridiculous. It could have just been a 50K download. Sad

I know who produced the original midi file!
He was bored one day, had finished drying his socks & ironing his shirts, and knocked the TOTH music together.

He now works at ITN

Surprised someone made an MP3 out of it though - they've used very poor instruments

Ah yes, I remember that!

I think you'll find Ed knocked that mp3 file together himself, but it I remember the original MIDI file yes. Very nice bloke, obviously got out of the BBC whilst he could. Razz:
