I would be _extremely_ interested in getting hold of this player and 
those song disks.  There must be some Christmas songs in there -- ever
since the great AudioLight Christmas music demos on my old Atari ST, 
Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without some synthesized
compu-carols to play.

Is there a way we can get some of these before the end of the month?

How can I help?
