[78-L] Christmas Music

[Tom]

Hi Bertrand,
 
Well ... I can download the version by Lena Horne off of iTunes, which is easy enough.
 
But what if I want the version by Connie Boswell? What do you guys do in that case? It's available as part of a half hour or so MP-3 file, though I know nothing about MP-3 file editing.
 
I could buy the whole CD for just that one track, I guess (from Amazon), depending on how much I value my time.
 
Any other ideas?
 
Tom

Would Lena Horne's modern version do ?
