Thanks, Mark.

What is your recording named on the map?

In case anyone is interested in listening and/or uploading sounds to the
"audio snapshot" of World Listening Day, Udo Noll has made the dedicated
WLD project page at http://aporee.org/maps/projects/worldlisteningday

Instructions on using the aproee maps provided here
http://aporee.org/maps/info/

Happy World Listening Day!

Eric
