AN1x-list Files: Clean-up time? Please read

2001-10-22 by jondl_2000@yahoo.com

Hello all,
I've been sorting through our Files section here at Yahoo! Groups - 
planning to do some clean-up soon.  A few of us - myself included - 
have double posted a number of the same files so I'm going to delete 
most, if not all, the duplicates (as a start) to free up some storage 
space.

I noticed that one user reposted _most_all_ of the user voices as one 
big download. Personally, I don't have a problem with this and I 
understand it's convienant. However, it does use up twice as much of 
our storage space as necessary since many files are duplicated.

So, my question is this: Would you (the List) prefer to have many 
individual downloads as we do today or a smaller number of bundled 
downloads. Example: All Yamaha voice sets, all 'Teklab' archived 
voices, all Yahoo! voices, etc. I'd noticed another synth list uses a 
system similar to this and it appears to be popular. Just to be clear 
on the matter - I'm not getting rid of anything other than duplicate 
files. Everbody's user voices will still be available!

Please reply back so I know what your preference is...Any other ideas 
arw welcome too.

Thanks in advance,

Jon

p.s. - Reg, if you read this I'd thought to yank your Cubase files from 
the Voice section and create a higher level directory for Cubase 
specifc items. Are you down with this? Let me know otherwise...
