I was under the impression that there had been a number of complaints about mp3.com by artists feeling they were not getting a fair deal. Not sure that would affect a Mudcat project but it may be a good idea to know more...

As with many web ideas, the real handicaps for an indivdual trying to set up independently are storage space and bandwith issues. I could have something written in the Annexe that allows users to upload their own audio files within a week but I have 40MB disk space and 2GB per month transfer limits... Has anyone considered asking Max if he could host it?

Oh, and kat, thanks for the offer but that would just make me paraniod about using Paltalk. I have some old stuff somewhere on a tape of me that maybe someone could use (I don't have the tech here at the moment) if I was to contribute.
