[ARSCLIST] Yo' pod
You're brave, you know that??. I'd be the first one to greet cell phone
preservation with fear, loathing and, yes, disdain. Digital is so
great--everything can be preserved, but not for long!

[ARSCLIST] Technical committee. Ipod, etc.
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.
