Oh, right. I didn't think about that anymore.
That was an experiment on tracking downloads.
The php script returns a document of type audio/x-ogg and suggests a
filename. It works here (correct extensions). But it might be better if
I just use redirects. Thanks for pointing this out, I've completely
forgotten this.

It is a Cover and I don't have the permission from the original author
to publish it.
As a little joke I silenced everything but my speeches and the noise of
the crowd on the 3 Cover tracks. Unfortunately the beginning of the show
was not recorded, so the introductory speech is missing and track 1
starts with silence.

I'll tell him to try again when I changed the PHP.

Thanks for your help!
