Old mp3 playlists on progarchives

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is good/bad, right/wrong.

One reason, specially for us as a "progressive" bunch of folks, to let go of some history and then have it "disappear" is a sad thing. However, the computer age is a throw away society, and although we all have come a long way and many old bands recovered and found AGAIN, is a near thing. This is a good thing.

A list of the mp3's is probably not even necessary, if we know the context of the posting and what was shown/played, in which case I'm betting a nickel that it is already on the toob somewhere ... maybe ... 

Reminds me of my dad's library of Spanish, Portuguese and Brazilian literature, and around the 80's sometime, the University decided they wanted to index the library because students were finding things they never heard. To my knowledge this was never finished, or bothered with (easy to setup a course for graduates to spend time doing this!!! NOOOOO!) and I don't know if it was even done. According to my mom, that spent more than 40 years still publishing dad's stuff, about a quarter to a third were total unknowns, and yet they were published by somebody that believed in the writers, one could say. 

Honestly, I hate to see it all wasted, after all it is the human spirit that we are talking about ... but in the age of over population, same as the days with no population!!!) ... a lot is left behind that most will not even know about, or have a chance to see it, read it, or hear it.

Goodness ... the internet can really help here, but who's gonna pay for it, is the issue. Otherwise, most code folks are too busy doing something else ... probably getting stoned to JT again! (  )

The best would be just a normal list of songs. I collected some mp3s during the days that it was worked, but not all from all genres. The list of songs is very important to me, since i was listening it throug a long time while it was working and the selection of songs remained in my mind as a playlist of those years. I wonder, why admins dont have these lists or dont want to make them available. There were very good collections of songs, really!  

Maybe someone could write a script that lists those links for all artist ids.

I found this page which lists the most-downloaded MP3s, this might give you a clue.
