You may not find Hindusthani style of singing/playing in the songs in my list but as far as ragas are concerned they are represented here albeit with a different name.

For e.g. I have Hindolam which is Malkauns in Hindusthani. Some of the other songs in my list with the Hindusthani (approximate?) equivalents are:
Harikambhoji – Kamaj
Thodi – Bhairavi
Karaharapriya – Kafi
Natabhairavi – Asaveri
Kalyani – Yaman kalyan
Mohanam – Bhoopali
Nattakurunji – Rageshwari
Pantuvarali – Pooriya dhanashri
Thilang – Thilang

I will be adding Subhapantuvarali/Thodi, Mayamalavagowla/Bhairav, Suddhasaveri/Durga and a few more. I remember listening to a fantastic Balamurali/Bhimsen Jugalbandhi in Subhapantuvarali/Thodi and if I get hold of the recording I will add a snippet of it.

Thanks.

I am not sure what you mean by loading it to your desktop or using it in your blog. This app requires internet connectivity. Are you looking for an application that can play songs that are locally stored on your computer?

I have browsed your blog and listened to some of the music. You have a huge collection of songs. Thanks for providing this service. It is much appreciated.

I do have a remark though, which is about OCAML (and JOCAML). Although the syntax is a bit awkward, the same holds for any ‘species’ of programming language you’ll learn. I remember that my first Basic (in the early 80′s) experience included getting used to the strange syntax, just as my first assembly, prolog, lisp, C/C++/Java, Haskell, Python and OCAML experience. Just because someone is used to a certain syntax doesn’t mean that other syntax can’t be good either (I prefer Python and Haskell, although that also take time to get used to). After a while most ‘weird’ syntax issues disappear once a person starts to think in the logic of the language, and not the syntax (although I never got used to LISP, but that is something VERY personal, and not a reason not to recommend it).

OCAML has a really good performance (close to C) but is high level. It can be used for functional and imperative programming and has classes.

The reason for the ‘+’ and the ‘+.’ is because it is so strongly typed that the compiler has different optimizations for integers and real numbers, which after thinking about it makes sense. Integers are often only used for counting (in arrays etc), and reals for the more advanced mathematics.

Please have another look at OCAML. Especially with the JOCAML it is muticore functional programming at its best. No wonder that Microsoft based F# on OCAML.

Having taken the time to learn Scala myself, I’m pretty happy with it. Its also nice seeing more momentum with its uptake and the number of open source projects starting that are implemented in Scala.

I still think its too early to tell if it will unseat Java in terms of new (enterprise) project numbers (its nowhere near that point now). I think much of that will depend on when Java 7 is released and reaction to it.
