Lou:  Thanks for these comments.  I did not mean to knock archives.  They are 
key.  I only 
meant to emphasize the concept of "popularizing" natural sound as a part of 
larger natural 
history education.

Regarding you audiofile point, I agree.  However, the whole world seems to be 
listnening 
to MP3s these days. It is part of the I-pod revolution. Some of my good 
recordings are 
hard to tell apart between mp3 and 16 bit uncompressed PCM.  In fact, I started 
loading 
uncompressed stuff on my I-Pod, as I resisted compression, but then moved over 
more 
and more to compression as time went by.  

It will be interesting to see how and if people respond to the posts here.
