Yes! It was potentially brilliant but was closed source and

only for windows users. A classic case of if it had been an

open source project it would been huge today. Fools.

Speaking of MIDI (I know I know, it's a dirty 4 letter word)...

anything to do with MIDI would be ideal for collaborative

subversion management because the file size is so reasonable.
Perhaps a judicious compromise between using MIDI, where

feasible, and vorbis test tracks (again, where feasible) and

only relying on flac'd wav tracks towards the end of the

pieces lifetime when it comes time for mastering.
I suspect the uploaded wav format should be 16bit/44.1khtz

because of bandwidth concerns.
