Some bugs, errors and peculiarities (in release 1.2.1).

Bugs: 1. Coffeehouse '75: Office: Desk: Appointment book: Nothing happens when clicked upon, despite guitar symbol! There is a file (apptbk75.mov) that ought to be shown. (Contains among other things a reference to Loudon Wainright.) The corresponding '61 works all right: ("Call Joan!") 2. Willie McTell: Broke Down Engine (engine.mov) is inaccessible! Should play from the poster where you get Dylan's version of it. 3. In the lyrics database "Down in the Flood" plays "Groom's Still Waiting..." and vice versa! (The filenames groom.mov and flood.mov have been exchanged!)
The following files are not accessible from the program (at least, I can not find them), though present on the CD! : 1. Willie McTell: Broke Down Engine (engine.mov) is inaccessible! 2. Every Grain of Sand (grain.mov) is inaccessible 3. When I Paint My Masterpiece (Dylan), (masterp.mov) is inaccessible! (The database plays The Band's version!) 4. Song to Woody (woodyg.mov) without video, I can not find anywhere! 5. A torn "Self Portrait" on a coffee house table ('75) that is repuzzled (painting.mov), I can not find anywhere!
There are also some other files, without Dylan related content, that I can not find from the program: 6. 2 minutes of street sounds (street.mov). 7. "OK. Test. 1, 2, Musicians ready? Yeah! OK!" (test.mov). 8. MC-sound (motocyc.mov). 9. Evening picture of New York, (nylghts.mov).
Songs with video illustration are never playable from the lyrics database, but some songs are not playable from the lyrics database though they exist without video on the CD. 1. Song to Woody (woodyg.mov) 2. Every Grain of Sand (grain.mov) 3. When I Paint My Masterpiece (Dylan), (masterp.mov) (The database plays The Band's version!) 4. Man on the Street (manstrt.mov) 5. Down the Highway (dwnhwy.mov) 6. Medicine Sunday (cstape1.mov) 7. You Ain't Going Nowhere (aint.mov) (The database plays Cash/Colvin/Carpenter's version!) 8. Simple Twist Of Fate (riff.mov) (Only harmonica solo!) * Sven Erick Alm * ************************************************ * Dept of Mathematics * * "Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues" * * Uppsala, Sweden * * "You can tell by the way she smiles" * * sea@math.uu.se * *********** Bob Dylan ************************
