You actually get about 13.

An FTP server is a very bad idea: this is precisely the sort of thing
that takes it from simple buddy copying into the big leagues, not to
mention the bandwidth involved!

Similarly, napster would be of not much use to those of us with
narrowband connections. (I count my ISDN in that)

Swapping CDRs by postal mail is more in the spirit of friends sharing
music, as it makes it more one-on-one, it's also very high bandwidth
(with a very low latency!)

Mark, it's your list: should we take this to e-mail, or perhaps add
another mailing list as a sub-set, but don't publicise it?

Ian.
