or - in a more benevolent mood, and also from New Testament - "Forgive Them Lord: They Know Not What..."

"Don't cast your pearls before swine" (New Testament (Jesus), not really a Spanish saying!)
Bram: That list is useful, thanks!

I agree with dobroide. The ratings are almost completely useles: there are 0.5 ratings per file on average (!), with the most-voted for file having 187, votes then the next nr of votes/file are: 56, 44, 39, 38, .. and going down very rapidly. In essence it's MUCH better to look at the downloads.
Also, remember: people download a file after having listened to the preview. If you have a lot of downloads for a particular file, it means people really liked it!

BTW, most people simply don't know/appreciate the effort and time needed to make a recording like this one of the rooster. I know, and it IS GREAT, thank you for uploading.
There's a spanish saying for similar cases, don't know the English equivalent: 'Es mejor no echar margaritas a los cerdos'. Have a Spanish dictionary at hand? :-)
