first, welcome. i like the mix of acamedic and post-techno people on this
list and think it can only help expand and enhance everyone's conception
and understand of computer music. so please post!

this was precisely one of my ideas in thinking about what to do with the
hotline server. so, a few months back i sent an email out to every
subscriber who either runs a label or records for one asking to open up
dialog about offering mp3s of recent and back-catalog releases via the
hotliner server, for precisely the purposes you allude to (ie., allowing
people to hear the music that is discussed; elevating discussion; get
turned on to new artists/realeases; etc.). the purpose of the email was to
work toward fashioning a set of guidelines whereby these goals could be met
without compromising the legitimate financial viability of the artists and
labels.

unfortunately, i heard not a single peep in response. perhaps we could
reinitate the conversation?
