Greg, I agree.
I do not think that the Internet Archive is the place
for most of the files that have been exchanged
recently through the list. That resource seems
appropriate for "finished" works, or project pieces -
I've accessed a variety of resources on that site and
the content seems more finalized/enduring then is
often shared through our list.
I don't understand that as a place to send large
volumes of recording fragments and go through the
adding/deleting process regularly. That seems an "in
house" feature for our group.
Is there an interest in expanding server space/file
exchanges throughout the group? Or are people content
to do things on their personal resources?
Pending that... I'm offering a recording of mine
(temporarily for now), you can download the text file
with info about it as well as the FLAC file itself,
at:
http://gipfelmedia.org/acoustics/
I would like to (and will when I can) contribute more
recordings... curious for feedback from the group.
thank you
