I don't see the point of it, people can put their music on their own sites and provide a link on LD. We already do that with the very popular user profiles: http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/profiles.cgi (the profiles section could use some revamping btw, that is another project.) What is sorely missing are audio samples that help explain what looping is all about, teach various techniques, provide examples for discussion, etc. Having a good central place for such things would be nice, and being available to people on the mailing list to upload for illustrating a discussion is even better. This is really more in keeping with the point of LD, imo. >Speaking of asking >for features and not helping, I'd like to ask fer one that I have no >way to help with... If you have the bandwidth could a Shoutcast stream >be made of the songs uploaded? Bandwidth isn't free for anybody, and that uses a *lot* of bandwidth. Unless a whole bunch of you are planning to send me large amounts of money on a regular basis, this isn't likely to happen. I already lose enough money every year because of LD. I'm not looking for ways to lose more.... at some point somebody was going to set up a looper's delight station on live365 or someplace like that. whatever happened to that? Did it die from lack of interest? If some volunteers were willing to commit themselves to really making something like that work, it could be pretty nice. It won't work though if the station just gets set up and abandoned. >I'd be willing to donate some space if it'll help.

I'm looking for helpers, not disk space.... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
