Page 4 - BiTS_11_NOVEMBER_2025

October 22, 2025 - From the desk of Ian McKenzie

As many of you know, when BiTS started in the hands of Bob Pearce, it was
a single page of A4. It has grown a bit since then.

One of the aims is to bring readers as much information as we can, to allow them to

go to the very best gigs by their favourite musicians.

The is no better way of doing that than to provide you, the reader, with examples of
the music produced by artists in the form of video or audio files which come as part

of the publication.

In the last year or so the number of videos and audio files has grown and it is now

time to be a bit inventive to see where we might go next.

From this month all audio will be signified by the use of the image:

Clicking on that image will have a different effect depending on which version of
BiTS you are reading; in the standard PDF it will open an external YouTube file which

will be audio only; in the Flip Version of BiTS it will open an audio file which is
embedded in the text. You will not, as above, be taken to an external site.

Video files will continue to be indicated by the symbol below and the effect will be

similar.

In the PDF scrolling version, clicking the link will take you to an external site to view
it. In the flip version, clicking the link will result in an embedded video-file playing.

Please feel free to download and try both versions if you wish. Let me know about
problems

NB: It is my intention that the PDF scrolling version shall at some time copy the
behaviour of the Flip version, which is possible (I think) but at the moment too
expensive.

Onward and upward!
