It would be super if people would spend the effort to familiarize themselves with
FLAC and how to encode their music using it.
Having two downloads would be awesome, one lossless and
one which is compressed via ogg or mp3 or something.
If everyone would view:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/
and:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/features.html
and some of my personal bookmarks:
http://www.bobulous.net/misc/audioFormats.html
Here's a tag editor:
http://easytag.sourceforge.net/
Winamp and xmms both have support for flac, either by default or plugin format
depending on your version. When dealing with IDM we are using such a vast array
of sound, that once encoded to lower quality (mp3, ogg, etc), the listener/consumer
is missing out on so much of the original production.
Reminder:
My web station (IntelligentDanceMusic.com) supports flac audio, all artists please

Have a nice day now,
