The first BitTorrent file of Showcasing Artists from the 2007 SXSW Festival is up at "the SXSW website":http://2007.sxsw.com/toolbox/ -- Click on "sxsw toolbox" and you should be able to find it. 739 songs (though for some reason only 722 made it to my iTunes library), 3.1 GB. It took me all night to download it, in part because the snow and ice storm knocked out power for a short time. But ...
