Re: Calling all music fiends who have MBID tagged music collections!

At the moment we're just storing all data that people send us, even if that
means high quality and low quality audio.
We did some testing beforehand with different audio encodings and found
that the difference between lossless and lossy audio was not very
significant.
Nevertheless, we're still thinking about the best way to present the best
choice when people want to download it. Any discussion on this topic would
be welcome.
