From the Ffestiniog Railway mp3 disk
Many of these recordings are from some of the first audio CDs that I produced for sale on the web site but the collection also includes recordings from my latest audio CD, steamsounds on the Ffestiniog Railway.
Supplied on a single CD ROM are over 60 individual tracks with a playing time of over 5 hours.
You can transfer them straight to your mp3 player or play them direct from the disks using your web browser and the included html pages which include comprehensive, illustrated notes about each track. The notes are also included as printable Adobe Reader files.
