Well, I don't have ANY music in any format here. Before anyone jumps me,
the music teacher has a HUGE collection, and kids can borrow from him.
We decided years ago that there was no point in duplicating efforts.
Since he is quite comfortable handling that, and everyone is used to him
having the music stuff, I'm happy to let him have it.
Now if we could just convince the kids that we don't give out free
batteries for their music players....
