Little Boy Blue:

PL OK. Beautifully read! You do have some weird characters in your ID tags (and they were in your file name, too) - what's weird is that they don't show up in Windows, but they do in Real Player. I can fix these.

To a Balloon...:
Also beautifully read.

At 0:14, "ethereal" is pronounced "ih-THEE-ree-uhl" (soft TH). Fix if you like, but I'm marking it off as OK.

Hello. I noticed the strange characters first when I went to copy and paste the URL from the LV uploader directly into my message post. I don't know if this was a technical uploader issue, as it has not happened when I've uploaded readings in the past. There were percent signs and miscellaneous letters mixed in the URL location, unless this is due to something technically new since the system was compromised. I initially thought it may be some sort of encryption due to the new security. Typically, I upload and copy/paste the URL into my post and then I always preview the post before submitting it to make sure the URL works. It took several times for the URL to copy into the post correctly before it worked; only then did I submit my post message but the strange characters were included as copied from the uploader in order for the URL to work inside the post message. I don't know if others have had similar issues. Don't know if this will be helpful but I thought I would relay my experience for what I saw and the strange characters that copied over. Am unsure why then the strange characters would be in the ID tag as well. I will be aware of that in the future.
