Great I enjoyed it!
It would be great if it should be possible to play withe three combinations=
:
name - song - image, maybe with the option to show the names on the
images for the very beginners... like me!
in my case I'm more experienced with songs and have difficulties in
recognizing birds from their photographs...
I more easily link songs to names rather than songs (or names) to images...
