[thechat] Can somebody Guess this Song?

[Syed Zeeshan Haider]

Hi Stef,
I am VERY happy to know about your interest in Qawwali. There is no way
to search for mp3's of Qawwalis. Because each Qawwali spans a length of
about 30 minutes. What would be the size of mp3 file of Qawwali? I will
be too large to be available on Web. You can visit
http://www.muziq.net/pakistan/index.shtml and
http://www.muziq.net/index.php to listen to streaming Qawwalis. Mail me
offlist. I can send you part of a 30 minutes Qawwali of Aziz Mian in mp3
format. I'll create it from a CD.
(I do not support the illegal use of music in the form of mp3.)
Thank you,
Syed Zeeshan Haider.

Syed, here I'm not kiddind: i _love_ the internet exactly for the kind
of
post you just emailed here. We abolish frontiers with the internet and
communicate and learn so much more than simple web dev things.

Thank you for enlightening us in Qawwali music.

Do you know where one could find one or two mp3s just to learn how it
sounds? (we westerners are, I'm afraid, mostly listening to western pop
mostly).

(Side note to all our copyright friends from the legal dept somewhere in
the basement: I'm not advocacing the use of mp3s as it is, I'm still
buying
about one music CD a month, but I like to hear music because I buy it
most
of times ---except with Tori Amos which I buy eyes closed, of course.)
