Can't listen to it on my phone, the link tries to make me install all kind of crap on my phone...
My experience as well, but it was with my iPad. Still, if you're talking about an iPhone it's the same operating system, iOS, and we have the same issue. If your phone is something different, you can skip this.
So my iOS workaround involves a downloaded app I have had for a little over a year, now. (Sidenote: What is with the downloaded apps you need for iOS to do easy-peasey stuff Windows does with both its eyes closed? Just wondering.)
The app in question is from the App Store and called Documents 5. It lets me do a lot of the things I could in Windows with Windows Explorer plus many more: read, listen, view, and annotate almost any sort of file, create directories on the iOS device, rename those directories, copy them, move files to and from them, delete directories as well as read PDFs, mark-up PDFs,
and perhaps most significantly: I can download files from the Web to the directories I've created on my iPad, including mp3 files and listen to those files in Documents 5. It calls up its own internal mp3 player and plays them. OOH-RAH! Copied the URLs from the
Paleoblues post at the top of this page and they loaded and played just fine, sounded great in Documents 5. Advertising is blocked and I had no trouble with attempts to force me to download other apps. There are probably several other ways to get iOS to do all these things
and play mp3s, this is just the workaround I found. ***
Paleoblues, your solos really sound good! Impressive how you got so far in such a short amount of time. Hope I can get down with it as fast as you have. The dual solo with Griff is really remarkable. I wonder if Don Felder and Joe Walsh developed the famous guitar coda from Hotel California this way? Wow is all I can say.
Griff, you da man--again! Am delighted with this course. Also, I'll take this opportunity to say to you how cool I think it is engraving your wife's name on the truss rod cover of your Les Paul. Total class! The ginchiest, dad. I completely dig it.

***Except as a satisfied user, I do not have any connection whatsoever to the Documents 5 app. I think its free anyway. Am just a guy with an iPad who wanted to offer assitance to other students in this school who also might be iOS device users with a similar problem. I did that by sharing my experience with a simple and as far as I know a no-cost way to do Windows-style functions in iOS in order to hear the progress of the other students posted on this site which I hope to some day emulate.
