I uploaded the album to Mediafire which means that you don't need to download each song separately anymore, because you can download the whole album at once in a .zip-archive. (Windows - at least XP and Vista - should be able to extract .zip's with it's on-board unzipping-tool. If not, just download 7-Zip, WinRAR or a similiar program).

(just wait till the "click here to start download"-thing comes up and then click on it to start the download)
By the way: Some of you may have noticed the annoying, beeping ad that says "you have 1 new message" or something. Esnips should be aware that the download rates and thus the bandwidth used will increase as long as this campaign is running, because nobody is likely to listen to this horrible beeping sound longer than maybe the little time that it takes them to click on the download button (in order to listen to your song offline). Worse than that: People could think that the beeping is part of your song!!!
On the other hand, this seems to be a Google Adsense-ad (via an adwords-campaign, that is), so Esnips doesn't really have that much influence on what is displayed at which time - only where! Well, they could get rid of the ads all together but they need to make a living, too.
You could always deactivate Active-Scripting to turn off the google ads (which is, by the way, a good way to ensure that you don't click on the ads if you are running adsense ads on your own website or blog), but then the esnips player may not work anymore and of course, the correct display of other pages will be impaired, too.
Again, I managed to record an album in less than 24 hours. This challenge inspired me to do this. I think this could (and should) also be done here on Esnips. Even more so, as there are a lot of very talented & prolific artists in the music communities.
The rules are, that you make an album that has at least 30 minutes of original material. And most importantly the whole recording process has to be done in 24 hours. If you don't have the time to record the the album in one continuous session than you can distribute your 24 hours over another timespan. You just need to do the recording, mixing, mastering, whatever in less than 24 hours. This includes the production of the artwork (if there is any). And in "my" challenge there is no restriction in which month you can do this - you can do one album every month if you feel so inclined. If you decide to take this challenge, then please tag the folder with the files of your album with "24hrchallenge".
But remember: There is nothing to win, except the right to say: "I have made an album in 24 hours". Also, there will be no "1st place","2nd place" and so on. So if you are only willing to do this for the fame, look somewhere else.
In general you should add as much relevant tags to your files as you can (I think 10 tags is the maximum). This way, more people will find your files and thus you get more visitors. I saw a lot of people around here who haven't tagged their files and then complain why they get no visitors...
By the way, I found a cool time-tracking tool called TrackaMinute. It's a free program and it really helped me to keep track of the time I needed to record this little album.
This time, I managed to persuade a virtual drummer to help me out on a few tracks. He is very talented and skillful, but unfortunately, he has that split-personality thing going on. One minute he thinks he is the reincarnation of Keith Moon and the next one he believes he is the drummer of the band Pelican. His real name is Henry Jamstix, though. At least that’s what he told me on the phone the day before we met.
So I had to do a lot of cut and paste work with Audacity in order to capture only his best moments. Unfortunately, when he saw what I did to his drumparts, he went into some kind of epileptic-shock. After his episode, he got really angry at me and shouted “
