Any Interest in Live (and legal) recordings?

[jpsy422]

Hiya,
Is there any want for live recordings? Im beginning to amount quite a collection of live (and legal!!!) bluegrass/jazz/phish/dave matthews band/etc. and i would be more than willing to make a direct connect hub and teach ya'll how to use it so we can start to (as we say over at sharingthegroove.org) Share the groove.

Id be willing to write an FAQ on how to use it and play the music, set it up for everyone, and get it going. it would also be a great place for everyone to share their own music through a MUCH eassier medium that having to host it on HTTP and eat up monthly webspace.

just an idea, lemme know your thoughts




PS to the admins/mods: if im overstepping a boundary, PLEASE dont hesitate to let me know. you can IM/E-mail/PM me and lemme know if i am.

Isn't this sort of what bluegrassbox.com does?

yeah, its kinda like that.

Bluegrass box requires that you set up an FTP. I'm nominally proficient with a computer but the instructions seemed inpenetrable. Also, I have a hardware firewall and have been told that setting up an FTP so as to be able to penetrate the firewall is difficult.
Just my thoughts.

well this dosent really deal with TOO many of those problems as its not FTP. Direct Connect is the computer equvelant of walking into a room with 30 other people and swapping files. its half way between napster and a swap meet. except its legal (as long as the stuff is live) and its free.

Peakbagr, I'd be glad to help you set stuff up if you're interested in getting into bluegrassbox (PM me if interested). I think the idea of a distributed version is nice as long as we have enough people to share the distribution http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
