Hi people.

I don't think it is common knowledge that www.archive.org has an extensive 
amount of live recordings stored that can be freely listened to! 
Some great stuff there, only problem is that most stuff is stored as Shorten 
files. It gives very good sound quality since shorten is a non destructive 
compression format, but it sure gives my broadband connection a beating!

Just go to:
http://www.archive.org/audio

Just recently I noticed that they have a added subsection called 
"Open Source Audio" which seems to be open for any kind of recording. 

Looks like this could become a great place for sharing music / sounds.
