I also don't think most software and hardware MP3 players can even play a single MP3 file of such a length. And hopefully they are using the newer beta version of Audacity, because the current release (1.2) only supports 13.5 hours of recording.

Maybe a torrent will be offered to download all this?

Anywho, best of luck, and I hope I can find some time to sit down and listen to all 72 hours in the future.

I am never able to listen live, I only listen at my night job (which is nowhere near a computer) on my iPod.

But a torrent is the best way to distro this, because it's extremely economical and should offer good speeds.
