Hmmm... That has allowed me access to urls with mp3 as well as those
down stream from the original ?blah=
either its working or they have been cunning enough to allow mp3ishness
in my queries only.
(which seems unlikely)
There is no way of testing this of course.....

They were getting a little uncomfortable with questions I have been

Either way liunx = PLUG = solution so it was not off topic after all.
