You may notice, no .zips. Why? It occurs to me that .zips give no benefit. They take time to make and use up disk space and bandwidth, but there is no compression. The FLACs are already as compressed as they're going to get. And whatever convenience one might get from choosing one file over five to download is balanced out by the fact that as far as I can tell, most people don't even use them. So I'm going to stop making them. It will save time, money, disk space and bandwidth, with virtually no downside.

FLACs are uploading now. Remember, please do not use them until I have had a chance to figure out usage patterns.
