       @textfiles They also have a good Jazz collection; mostly historic of course with a lot of other "samples".  They are having copyright problems so some things are samples, and others have to be "checked-out"; for hours/days.  And so on.   Copyright laws are beyond reason these days.  But the real oldies are there; I like Ella Fitzgerald but tastes vary (even for me river time).

       I just watched the BBC clip on Emmy Noether :)  Absolutely astonished and recommend it to anybody in mathstodon.xyz.  I knew she was famous and intelligent; I  never knew how extensive and foundational her other work was; "modern algebra", topology,  gauge theory, ....From the broadcast, I would put her up with the heroes of mathematics; Euler, Gauss,  ..I know I am smart but I also know that there are people who are  _really_ really smart, and it's clear that Noether was one of them.Before I watched it this morning, it occurred to me "what would the world be like if Godel and Noether had married" (or worked together); I found it beyond even my   SciFi fueled imagination :) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00025bw
