The Downloader’s Music Source Book

~ Recording series

Annotation

The Downloader's Music Source Book was a list of recordings compiled by Dave McAleer, published in 2005, that provided over 20,000 of "the world's best songs" for new digital music player owners to refer to.

This series contains that list, and the list below is in the order that the tracks appear in the publication.

It is currently a WIP.
