I actually was wondering if there is a reason that college radio hasn't moved to just running straight off a computer. I know the local ones still use cds, which are mailed to them en masse by labels, and often seemed like a pretty big waste. Pretty much any university has the bandwidth to download high-qualitiy copies of trax, so it would seem more efficient to promote that way. - cutups --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
