Thread Name: A Mudcat Sampler CD?
Subject: RE: A Mudcat Sampler CD?
Soooo, maybe the answer is being able to access sound clips through mucat, as opposed to on a CD? That way we could go to those people we're curious about.

Here's a big picture suggestion, one that I'm sure would take a lot of work to implement but maybe it's a vision for the future of this community:

Each member (yes, you have to join to qualify for the extras) gets listed in an index and when someone clicks on a member's name you get a short biography (we were posting them on a thread a couple of months ago) as well as access to sound clips or pictures, if available. I have no idea what technology this would require, but it's something we do at the Dead Runners' Society (another irreverent internet club) and it helps the sense of community to be able to quickly find out more about someone who's just posted an interesting comment.

Then again, CDs would be great, maybe there just needs to be a series of them to handle all the artists.
