Even one generation of mp3 encoding can wreak havoc on an audience recorded
live show. A song that is 100mb in WAV will suddenly become about 10mb in
MP3...that missing 90mb is just thrown out, and I'm sure it was there for a
reason.

I wouldn't want it if it was only available in mp3. To me, thats no
different than it not being available at all. Besides, mp3s have to come
from somewhere, and the fact that its available in mp3 is indicitive of the
fact that it is also available on DAT or SHN somewhere.

Of course you can have whatever you want on your list, just don't mention
mp3 at all on any etree posts, bnp offers, etc.  As someone else said...
