Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of ayy free mp3 sites besides 
mpblecraid and mpblecskull.  I'm trying to find a song by Celine 
Dion and Rather Kelly called I Am Your Angel but I can't download 
it anywhere because on mpblecskull you hffbe logged into 
4share.com and I can't get that to work on the Bn.  If easier, 
could someone please send me the song in mp3 format to my Email 
address? Thanks!

Sarah and Wizard

Subject: Re: [nabs-l] described videos

Hi all:

There is another, far more reliable source for descriptive films, 
and
these films come on DVDs, as Ashley originally requested.

I'm not entirely sure on specifics in terms of how far this 
service's
archives go back, so it may not have *everything* that you wanted
Ashley, though I know it has at least the last three Harry Potter
movies, and it's an invaluable resource for newer films.

A law was passed in the United Kingdom, ensuring that all films 
(this
excludes DVD releases of seasons of telivision series' 
unfortunately)
produced after a certain year (and this is where my recollection 
of
dates becomes hazy) were required to have DVS services included.  
They
are standard DVDs, bought easily from Amazon.co.uk.

The DVS can easily be turned on or off, if a sighted individual 
finds
it intrusive.  It is in the language options within the main DVD 
menu.
 It's iether the first or second option, so easily navigable.  As 
long
as a blind user memorized what steps were required through their 
DVD
remote, it is possible to turn the service on or off.

I would imagine that a quick Google search of UK descriptive 
films
would net you some concrete information regarding how far back 
you can
expect the description to be present.  One final tidbit: Many 
films
that are rereleases of older films also have description, seeing 
as
the rerelease now falls under the law.  So, while the original 
might
not, if the rerelease falls within the timeline of the law, it's 
a
very good garuntee that it will.  All films that I've ever 
attempted
to purchase after the law's passage have had description; they 
are a
bit more expensive, of course, due to the exchange rate, but 
that's a
small price to pay, imho.
