It's time the technical committee addressed the many issues being generated by the ipod, computer downloads of various types and cell phone recordings.  Files from these and other popular audio sources will be coming quickly into audio archives of all kinds.  It is necessary to prepare our members to welcome them with a smile rather than fear or, worse, disdain.  I'll be bringing the topic up at the Music Library Association's Preservation committee meeting.  

It may also be time to revisit the issue of video when combined with audio.  

These are major issues.  Rather than decry their inherent low quality, it think it ARSC's mission to prepare our community as to how best to deal with this certain influx.
