The New York Rag by Geo. C. Durgan was added to the Virtual Orchestra page.

St. Louis Tickle by Barney & Seymore was added to the Virtual Orchestra page.

Deuces Wild Rag by Hubert Bauersachs was added to the Virtual Orchestra page.

Freckles Rag by Larry Buck was added to the Virtual Orchestra page. This is the first addition to this page in 11 months, but much more is to come.

The layout of the Live perfomances page has been totally redone and the content has been changed. The number of interesting ragtime related videos on YouTube has increased and therefore it has been easier to make a relevant selection.

I have replaced the previous way of playing the mp3-files on ragsrag.com. The use of m3u-playlist files has been skipped and has been replaced with a java script solution called SoundManager, which hopefully will work on most computers and mobile phones. The m3u-files often did not work on many Apple computers and most mobile phones. Also the new method loads the music much faster.

I have also found a new way to sort the music tables which is better in all respects than the previous way.

The virtual orchestra sound file for this rag – previously done with Garritan – was redone in NotePerformer.
