RIP Nev Gold of The Marionettes

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The Marionettes' guitarists died just before Christmas. The band themselves are selling downloadable remastered versions of their albums in order to raise money for his funeral.

Sorry for this very dumb question, but what format is iTunes?

I do own a very cheap MP3 player, would that do? ... :oops: : :oops: : :oops: ...

I don't believe it's on iTunes - I understand you get it straight from the band, presumably in MP3 format.

Any MP3 player, no matter how cheap should be able to play the standard formats (.mp3 and .wav). Not sure what format iTunes uses, but I believe they have their own special format, although I can't image they don't give an option for downloading music as mp3.

My choice would be to burn it off onto a CDR and play it on my CD player ;)

Damn. :(

I always had a soft spot for the Marionettes. Thanks for the heads-up Maisey.

I'll order a CD in support. Had a listen to some of their songs, alright for me
and some variety to the other stuff I've got. Bad enough what happened there.
So double-thanks for the hint.
