Piano Sheet Music ~ Hearing before we purchase/print?
on: November 11, 2008, 06:53:44 PM
Nils,

Would it be possible (and this applies to Gold sheet music also) to allow us to hear the peice before we purchase/print it? By purchase I mean, upgrade to a Gold account, etc.

Just because it would be easier. If I was looking for a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody, but didn't know which number it was again, I would be able to identify it easier if I could hear the peice. Therefore, I would know for definate that you have that sheet music.

I don't see why we cannot, it's only listening to it...not visually seeing it, etc.

Not everyone wishes to use (or can use) YouTube.

This is true.

My step-daughter can not even look at pictures on the computers at her school.

Yeah, I remember when I was at school they didn't allow that either. Filters on the internet, very irritating.

No. HEARING the peice so we know which is the correct one, or just so we come across a beautiful peice (which would boost P.S. sales because we've discovered a previously unknown peice of music...;))
