Some great tracks. It would be nice if you could tell us a little about some of the tracks. Maureen

Sorry, but lists are not opinions. But if you do change this as Coooeee suggests, let me know and I'll re-rate.

COOOEEE 29.11.2005 18:55

Don't be put off with the ratings so far as you can expand or change your review in the future if you want to by pressing the edit link on the right hand side of the page as you read your review. If you read a few of the other members reviews in the category you will soon get a few ideas of what you can add to your own to help consumers decide if they would like to buy the product or not. You could also get the review deleted and start from scratch too if you want so just let me know ifyou need any help with this if you decide to do so. Fionaxx
