the fanzine archive can now be separately zip'd & downloaded with one click!
Hopefully this function will simplify sharing & distribution a great deal --> more back-up copies out there --> better preservation.
I'm absolutely stoked that this was achievable
Edit:
separately downloaded, obviously...
DaN, have you done this with various SQL "manipulators"? Looks like a huge amount of work, but I wish you haven't spent so much time on it, except for figuring out how to do it. Have you at least make files downloadable with one "macro", so to say?
On the consumer side, are we supposed to download everything? Even that would take some time...
MegaCheers, of course.
EDIT: I have only now see, why you have repeated the post. There are actually THREE download options now, so you should repeat it once more.
Pardon me, but I'm going to go into <rant-mode> here...
YES, you are all supposed to download, spread, repost, print and reissue* as much of this stuff as possible. We want our Sacred Culture to be preserved not only for decades, but
centuries right? (Or maybe ye all were just joking when you screamed "Heavy Metal Forever!" at last weekend's pub gig?)
Preservation by way of Duplication and Distribution is king. And this goes for audio as well. I hereby denounce all my old petty complaints like
"boo-hoo you didn't give credit/weren't supposed to share/are a poser and don't deserve to love random obscure Metal Band" and similar bullshit. Unite and Fight the Fight against Heavy Metal lost media! \,,/

Phew...
I guess this subject deserves its own thread maybe?
* = ...and - hot take - even bootleg, if that what it takes as an absolutely Last Resort..
