Helpful and important this has all been -- I thank you all a lot. Keep it coming, but I think we can narrow it down to divergences from this stricter template:
  1. Pretty much everyone here, at least, has broadband. So keying things for that is okay.
  2. Many of you have purchased, or intend to purchase, the downloads.
  3. MP3 is the preference of most of you, for a number of reasons, particularly burning to CDs and using in iPods, which means no DRM (not that there was going to be anyway). Other than that, preferred format is the original CD itself, when a song is on a CD.
  4. You don't want to pay more for higher-bit-rate MP3s, although a few leave the possibility open if they're of considerably higher quality -- which means it's probably not in either of our interests for me to do them above 128 Kbps, unless I figure out something different in the quality/file size/bandwidth equation... which I might, so don't rule it out. But I wouldn't do it as a separate option -- I'd just upgrade the downloadables.
  5. Most of you would not mind the option to download in other formats...
  6. ... but MP3 is the clear winner, with OGG having a number of supporters, but not without MP3 also being available. AAC got some attention as well. All that considered, I'll probably just stick with MP3s for downloadables.
  7. One or two of you think a surround file would be cool, if it wasn't just band-in-front, audience-in-back (it wouldn't be, trust me), but it's not on anyone's list of priorities, and therefore it's off mine.
Has anyone got a problem with that?
