Joe,
	Have you considered joining an Apple users group? Many of them have
extensive libraries of software, available to their members including sound
files. Two groups I am aware of are Washington Apple Pi and Northern Virginia
Apple Users Group (NOVAPPLE). You can contact the president of NOVAPPLE,
Dave Harvey, at e-mail:  daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com
Tell him you want to join and ask for a listing of the software library.
	Good luck in your quest for good music.
