I'd like to hear it and I only use my Flash-enabled Firefox profile when I have web-related work to do. This is, after all, a Linux list, so it's unsurprising that Flash-h8rs are to be found here. There are plenty of alternatives. I've had good luck with Bandcamp, or Archive.org, or even just an Amazon S3 account. Or just a random webserver somewhere. I'm sure there are folks on this list who would gladly provide disk space for you if needed, for example, I notice that Patrick duplicates the music he chooses and hosts his LAU best-of mixes on his own server. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
