well,
I lost the bid :( actually my bid too late and didn't even get it
in.
Anyway he has offered to send me a set for 50 bucks.....that sounds
fair if the quality is there and they really are digital copies. The
labels don't matter one way or the other... its the SOUNDS I need.
I'll report back with the verdict of my purchase.
Thanks again for all input.
