Lo-fi competition is a great idea, imho.

             In light of the interesting discussion on sample rates I
        propose a
             music competition among LAU around production of music
        pieces with
             quality considered 'low' by current dominating
             professional/audiophile standards in the digital domain:

             Specifics to be discussed, but I would start with the
        following:


        can we just re-record the beatles or miles davis from vinyl and
        consider
        it done?


    You got he point - well said :-)

i have somewhere (if i can find it) some field recording taken with a
mono, 8bit, 16KHz rate from a so-called dictaphone, overdubbed with a
stereo piano track at 16bit/44.1Khz.. the effect is not so bad.
Well, to say, lo-fi is interseting to me. this proposition is a good
idea, and sometime big restrictions can lead to cool productions.

I could try recording things with my Palm Tungsten T3 PDA, it has a built-in mic. Getting recordings out adds yet another conversion step, since the only way I can get a recording out of it is to plug the headphone out jack into my sound card and record it as the PDA plays it ...

First piece of music I ever heard that had been digitized was a bit of a Van Halen song that had been digitized using a Commodore 64's direct input connection (an 8-bit connection direct to the CPU). The CPU ran at about 1MHz and spent about 25% of its cycles dedicated to video stuff, so I have no idea what the effective sample rate was. The singing and words were recognizable.
