Hi,
I got an email today telling me that all of the mp3 links on my Irish Flute Tunes site http://irishflute.podbean.com from before late 2009 had stopped working. I've checked this out and this seems to be the case. I've contacted podbean.com to see whether they are willing and/or able to fix the ****-up. Failing fixes from Podbean there may have to be a mass tune donor session amongst the good and great C&F folks to rebuild the minor edifice which was in place before mein webhost chewed off than a bit.
All the best,
Michael.

Re: Problem Bean
Oh great. Just what one needs, eh? I sympathise, I really do. Also, that's one helluva good resource gone up in smoke if they can't get it back. But surely, they must have a backup, haven't they? How about you? Anything lying around on old machines or anything?
Whatever, I hope you manage to keep up the good work. It's appreciated around the world.

Re: Problem Bean
If there needs to be some sort of fundraiser please let us know. I for one have really enjoyed the site and found it very helpful.

Re: Problem Bean
Hi. No fundraiser needed or asked for. Thanks all the same, I really appreciate the good wishes. I've already had a reply from Podbean and they are looking at whatever glitch may have occurred.
Whatever happens, I'll get it sorted.
Thanks again,
M.

Re: Problem Bean
Second all the above. I have all the files that are available via iTunes if needed.
And while at it, could you tell us something about the track you call "Introduction"? I love the first (or second, I can't remember) tune and I'd like to know more.
cheers

Re: Problem Bean
Thanks for letting us know Michael. I went there the other day and kept getting broken links on the mp3s. I have some of the tunes on my computer but not that many. Keep us posted if you need whatever files we may have.
Cheers,
Kirk

Boo! 
I have a batch - maybe as many as 50? I've switched computers since then but my chaotic administration methods may a positive for once. Let us know.

Re: Problem Bean
It looks like Podbean have located the missing MP3 files and the links are working again. Thanks for the offers of copies since I reported that they had gone AWOL. Hopefully they'll not lose the tunes again.

One good thing to come from this is I'm sure a few people have discovered your wonderful site - me for one, thanks!
