[BC] Downloading music

[Steve Newman]

Hi Jeff,

You know the size of .WAV files. I think downloading is not an option for a 
library covering those years. I'm running about 3200 cuts on a "Good Times" 
format and I use Mp3's. I don't have any quality problems. A friend of mine 
who's running a similar format out of San Diego is running .WAV files and 
he's the one with the artifacts. It should be the reverse. I used the 
L.A.M.E. encoder to do "most" of the library. I ripped most of the cuts from 
my personal library but I go from the 50's to the late 70's. I don't get 
into the 80's and 90's. I believe what you want is a library that would be 
offered by Jones/T.M. or a company like that but since this is coming out of 
your pocket it could get expensive.
