Philippe Rouille (Paris) and I are working on a leaflet, "How To Care For Your Music Box". Philippe was the initiator. We will create a French, an English and a German version. Philippe asked me about the correct translation for "Music Box"; the answer is, there are a few expressions: "Spieluhr", "Spieldose" and/or "Musikdose". In the WWW are documents written in German; most from marketing agents, dealers, auctioneers, collectors or museums. A search in the WWW with the Alta Vista search-engine has brought following results:    "Spieluhr" in 73 documents,    "Spieldose" in 54 documents and    "Musikdose" in 11 documents. Don't search for "Musikbox" -- that's a coin-op playerstation for records (jukebox -- very popular 20 to 40 years ago in pubs). Yours, Hauke (Message sent Mon 10 Feb 1997, 20:49:00 GMT, from time zone GMT+0100.) Key Words in Subject:  Box, Expressions, German, Music
