Re: [TANGO-L] Tandas at the speed of a mouse click



Creating mp3s is a task, just like creating tandas is a task.
Skill is involved. Creating mp3s "automatically", without
thought applied is as likely to yield good results as creating
tandas "automatically", letting a random selecter pick 3 songs
at a time.

MP3s can be created well or poorly, and they can be created to
be indistinguishable from the original by the human ear.

Been there, done that, own the t-shirt.
