MWOM MP3 Playlist - Sunday 15th February 2009

Posted by Robbie | Posted in MP3, Playlist, Radio, Shows | Posted on 15-02-2009

Hi Folks.

We’re trying something new here. I regularly get asked about the music I play on the show - who it is, what a track’s called, what album it’s on, that kind of thing. So we started posting the playlists here on Robbie on the Radio.

Anyway, as you may know, I get a lot of my stuff from Amazon in the UK (yes, they will ship to Spain!), and Amazon have recently started selling MP3 tracks individually for you to download and play on your PC or MP3 player (iPod and the like).

I think this is great given the current economic climate, because if you like a track now you can get it without having to buy the whole album, and the tracks are less than a Euro/Pound each.

So, take a look at what Dom the Techno-Guru has come up with for you:

Hopefully you can see it (let us know if you can’t). Basically, it’s a list of as many of the tracks from the show that we could find, all in a handy preview tool. Click on the thing to show a list of the tracks, click on a track to hear a preview, and if you like a track and you want to buy it from Amazon, just click Buy and follow the instructions.

It takes a fair bit of effort for Dom to sort this out each week, so please let us know what you think, and if it’s useful.

Love and Respect.

Robbie x
