Y'all want/need/etc. to use MP3s, fine. However:
1) Don't expect everything in MP3. And don't convert things to MP3 that are specifically not to be recorded to MP3.
2) Tapers want to encode to MP3, fine, but PLEASE put out a lossless version too.
3) Tapers PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make an info file. Its very easy, very standard format, and makes a huge difference for the rest of us.

That sounds good to me. I have one suggestion. I have noticed on the, eh..."other" ftp that even people who are serious about music often have never heard of the SHN format.
Maybe you can put a text file or HTML file into the server home directory that links to SHN encoders for all operating systems? I'm sure if people know they don't have to research the issues they should be more inclined to use it.
I know I looked into it only two weeks ago and couldn't be bothered trying to find the right software. Finally found something ridiculously easy to use 2 days ago, but I have a comp sci degree.
