johnadams, I for one would love to see this type of site go up as well, for the same reason M Ted mentions and also to share other live folk club recordings, etc.

This thread has brought up a host of questions for me as a new owner of an Edirol R-09 and a fairly green consumer and user/editor of digital music.

For those who are making 24bit/48kHz uncompressed WAV recordings, how does one get them onto CD? Do they need to be compressed to 44.1kHz? Where do you store them on your computer, and what media player do you use to play them? I've noticed there are differences between iTunes and RealPlayer and Windows Media Player in terms of the ability to convert WAV files to mp3, or to compress a large WAV to a smaller WAV, a large mp3 to a smaller one, etc.
