> Why mp3s are really the way to go:

i completely support this idea of "media-less" content.  (it's not really
media-less since it sits on a hard drive, which is a medium.)  but the
problem with mp3's is bandwidth.  so far it's the best solution i suppose,
but there's another interesting format that has a lot of potential:
headspace's beatnik.  http://www.beatnik.com.  it offers cd-quality audio,
and the file sizes rarely exceed 100k.

go here for a look at what the future of music distribution can look like: 
http://home.earthlink.net/~phlow/file01.htm 
it's a link to the 4-song compilation ep called 'file01', first in a
series called 'kromode', featuring bochum welt and kim cascone. 

i just hope that soon a system will be in place that will allow anyone who
can create content to be able to distribute it.  (proof of concept: the
web)
