> Why mp3s are really the way to go:
i completely support this idea of "media-less" content. (it's not really
media-less since it sits on a hard drive, which is a medium.) but the
problem with mp3's is bandwidth. so far it's the best solution i suppose,
but there's another interesting format that has a lot of potential:
headspace's beatnik.
http://www.beatnik.com. it offers cd-quality audio,
and the file sizes rarely exceed 100k.
go here for a look at what the future of music distribution can look like:
http://home.earthlink.net/~phlow/file01.htm
it's a link to the 4-song compilation ep called 'file01', first in a
series called 'kromode', featuring bochum welt and kim cascone.
i just hope that soon a system will be in place that will allow anyone who
can create content to be able to distribute it. (proof of concept: the
web)
