Yes, ;-) I was making a big stretch-- linking poor quality habits
associated with mp3 files and the need to provide both quick mp3
downloads AND preserve the full quality originals when people post
sound files to the natrec list/future-archive. I think it would be
pretty easy it to have someone program an uploading interface like
this. We'd need to come to an agreement about the minimum
site/recording data required. Rob D.
