Discussion there is rarely about Happy, though, and is usually about other (usually lesser-known) singer-songwriters. Our fantabulous co-listmeister woj is also a listmeister of ecto. /nm ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 09:21:31 -0500 From: "Megan Harris" Subject: Website Question Didn't there use to be a site out there where all of Tori's concerts were stored and one could download them? I don't think it was in mp3 format however... If you know of such a website, I'd appreciate knowing what the addy is! :) meg Megan S.

If you know of such a website, I'd > appreciate knowing what the addy is! :) I think you're referring to the Tori Online Music Database, usually just called the TOMB. It's at . However, it has never had all of Tori's shows. Shows on the TOMB are stored in Shorten (SHN) format, which is a lossless compression algorithm. By contrast, MP3 is a lossy compression algorithm. That is, when you compress a music file with SHN and later uncompress it, the uncompressed file is identical to the original. However, when you compress a music file using MP3, the resulting file is not identical to the original. It has experienced some loss on the low and high ends. If you're using cheap-o computer speakers, you probably won't be able to hear the difference, but you usually can with better speakers or headphones. HTH. :) /nm ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V7 #280 *************************************
