    Fabulous! Love the book so far. Can’t believe the magic of scanning a QR code from my Kindle to this phone, and I have all these recordings, now on an email as well, to find easily. Thanks. Down from Leeds to see you at the Kings Place!

  • Patrick Burns says:

    I have just started reading Why Beethoven. I have hovered over the QR code and located the on line playlist. But they are all greyed out. How do I activate them please. (I realise this may not be the correct forum for this query but perhaps you can help just the same!)
