Gotta admit, I think DVD-R's full of FLAC's, SHN's or APE's are the Bees Knees - so that's where my vote has gone. It's a win situation all round for me - easy to package and post - and cheaper postage (especially overseas). I just make a copy of the DVD for myself and pass the original on straight away. I can burn copies of the shows as and when I'm ready to listen to them - and a DVD makes storage easy - no need to tie up harddrive space. DVD's can also contain Artwork and track/recording history etc. There's quality benefits too - I think that the integrity of the files is more likely - I've had more than my fair share of duff audio recordings passed to me in the past (mis-recorded, out of sequence, TAO, glitches and some that I strongly suspect have been sourced from mp3's). I can't see anyone going to the trouble of creating a FLAC/SHN/APE copy to circulate from a recording they originally got as an mp3 - can you? With vines you only need a DVD reader - not a recorder. Surely, most members must have a DVD drive now. If anyone doesn't have one then they can always request a copy of any of the shows on a circulating DVD-R by trade or even B&P. Makes a lot of sense to me. Cheers Les.
