presentation on recording technology

[Paul B. Garrett]

For anyone who may be interested, the NWAV presentation (by
Bartek
Plichta and Norma Mendoza-Denton) that Sonja referred to in her
recent
message is accessible online at http://bartus.org.  (Thanks to
Bartek for
letting me know this.)

Regarding Doug Whalen's recent comment re potential problems
presented by
the compression associated with MD recorders: I see that Bartek
and
Norma don't discuss MD at all in their presentation, presumably
because they
don't even consider it a viable option.  (I guess I'd better take
a
closer look at DAT recorders...)
