Kim, Mea culpa, father Kim. Forgive me. I did not mean to fragment the looping community, but simply to share music files. It is great to talk about music and looping, but hearing examples is better yet, for me. The theremin list I belong to used Yahoo groups for temporary sharing of theremin recordings, and that seemed to work well until a better server was established. MP3.com takes too long to approve new music to make it useful. Looper's delight did not have an area to post music, so I used yahoo groups as a location. Sorry, I did not think to ask if you would add such a section. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought this idea was discussed in past years and there was some space constraint on the ld server. What needs to happen in order to add an area to loopers delight to allow uploading and sharing of music files? If that can be done, then I will use LD to post loop music, delete the yahoo group loopmusic, and once again we will be defragmented and harmony can return :-) bret --- Kim Flint <kflint@loopers-delight.com> wrote: > yes, I also found it strange that somebody would go off and create a > different looping list. > > At 09:55 PM 9/30/2002, Goddess wrote: > > I can't speak for Bret, but I think he probably started Loop > Music for > >more musically oriented discussions of looping rather than more gear > >related posts.
