    I tried the broadband link using WMP10 as my default player. At first a dialogue box came up saying "Windows Media Player - reached the end of the file". I closed the box and hit the play button. The recording started - very clear and crisp sound. At 1 minute 15 seconds the recording stopped and I got the "reached end of file" message.

    No problems here. Great sound quality, quick download on the broadband link.

    I really really like this! It highlights the important points really well, and of course it's great being able to listen to Martin doing an 'off the cuff'.

    I thought it hit the spot perfectly. Please sir, can we have some more? :D

    Yeah, I did the same thing the first couple of times I listened to the Money Tips Mutterings on the site. :)

    Putting the links in bold is a good idea.

    I think my laptop was trying to stream the audio - working fine on my main machine. A wondefrul addition to the site. First time I have heard Martin's voice!

    This is great! The sound quality is very good, advice is excellent making it clear exactly how to work either of the strategies and it's also entertaining to listen to!!!

    The only criticism I would have is the length of time it took to download, even though I am on Broadband it still took a considerable amount of time. Also I think it would be easier to access if the title 'Listen to Martin's Money Mutterings on this article' was the link, I don't know if that is possible. Apart from that it's great!

    Good work!
