You da man, and I'm glad to be part of the whole process.... I enjoyed the article on Digital Audio Formats as I have just started collecting and ripping my own music and have been a little confused with all the different music formats that are available. I am deaf in one ear and I have performed a test to see if it would make a difference to me with files recorded in 128kb and 320kb modes. I can definitely tell something is missing in the lessor format... thanks and look forward to viewing all your material and chatting/adding my own information.
