  1. I`m not a fan of Blues at all, but I enjoy the Country/Hillbilly and Jazz/Soul compilations. Thanks for sharing. However, all of what I`ve downloaded so far was difficult to hear because the volume levels are not the same. It would be great if you could level each album to the same volume.

    1. That' interesting Maren because when selecting tracks, having similar volume is one of the prime things I'm looking for and I frequently reject tracks if they're too soft or loud. However thanks for your comment and I'll look into this. I've tried a couple of apps in the past that set the volume of tracks to equal volume but I've found they flatten the sound, sort of kill all the brightness of the tracks. I'll ask around.

  3. Hi Bob, another great share from you, i really like people that i don't hear much or not at all, like Lula Reed-Yvonne Baker-and what a great name Patience Valentine, so Thanks a lot, and to add my 2 cents about the volume on some of the shares, i have listened to some Soul some Hillbilly and some R&B and they all sound good to these old ears maybe its has to do with what you are using to play these, i use Music Bee and they are fine so no problem on my end. Stay Safe, Mike.

    1. Thanks for your feedback regarding volume Reproman. As I said above when selecting tracks 2 of the prime things I'm checking for is audio quality (I have heaps of really rare tracks but many sound dreadful) and constancy of volume. I'm always rejecting tracks because they sound too loud or too soft (but if I really want a track I'll change the volume in Audacity) Lula Reed is one of my most favorite R&B singers, her "Drown In My Own Tears" is amazing.
