I have a music file (actually, a whole collection of them) of unknown provenance. Here’s one that I’ve uploaded to my web site. Can anyone tell me anything about this piece? Name? Artist(s)? Source Album? Anything?
It’s very nice music, from an ad-hoc (I think) collection of “massage music” collected by a massage therapist.

Bonus points if you can tell me what the faintly-heard words are at 0:17
File is not accessible - DLs are locking up. An MP3 might be far more compact.
Woodland Night by Ethno Music Project, from the album Celtic Meditation Vol. 4 (according to SoundCloud).
I am able to download and play it using IE and Windows Media Player.
How do I convert it to MP3?
I’m going to see if I can find that on-line somewhere and see if this is it!
ETA: Done! Yes, this is it. Thanks.
Bump.
What about the mystery lyrics at or near 0:17? (It sounds like just two words, very faintly – Other than this, the piece is entirely instrumental.) Anyone can make out what it says?
It’s a really nice piece of “meditation” music. I found an entire CD of this sort of stuff at a massage school. One of the therapists there, as I understood it, had collected a bunch of New Age-y music like this from various sources and put them onto a CD. The 17 tracks have NO identification information in them. The CD has a hand-written label on it that says “Well Balanced”.
I googled that and found a whole collection of New Age type music by a guy who calls himself Oliver Shanti, including an album titled Well Balanced. Listening to that, it was clearly the same style of music, but not the right album. But TroutMan ID shows that it isn’t a Shanti piece at all, apparently.
Epilog:
Upon some further research: Shanti was some New Age guru as well as musician, having a following of devotees in Germany. He was eventually charged with some multiple hundred acts of child sexual abuse with the children of his acolytes, and convicted of 70-some of the charges. He is currently doing 10-some years in prison in Germany for that.
All along, I had envisioned in this piece, a quiet and serene sea shore. The sounds at the beginning and end sound like a gentle wind blowing across a wide open space and sea gulls.
If you want to identify the other tracks and you have a smart phone, install Shazam or SoundHound (I mistakenly said SoundCloud in my first response). Either app can identify pretty much any commercial, unaltered piece.
No clue about the “lyrics”. I originally thought it was just a flute trill, but maybe it’s words. If forced to guess, I’d say “strep throat.”
