FM broadcast 'Worldmusic live' - Deutschlandfunk

Changes Made (Nero 8):
Corrected phase offset of 0.05msec
Cross mixed tracks (98:2 ratio)
Retracked to removed the FM announcer
Cross-faded tracks 01 > 02 by 1sec to smooth transition
Added flac tags and artwork links for digital streamer replay.

Quality: Definitely A++ now

This was already a very good recording, but it had the usual FM phase offset, which when fixed
along with a few other small adjustments, results in a great listen with more depth to the bass,
greater dynamics from the percussion and greater clarity / stereo separation of the instruments
- especially when trying to follow Dhafer's oud amid the occasional Rypdal-storms being raised by
Aarset.

Modified cover artwork (courtesy of Fred, thanks) is also provided, as is a modified version called
Folder.jpg for those that use digital streamers.
