Thanks for reminding me of this site. I hadn't checked it out in a while, though we have had the site listened in the history links section of this site for quite some time.
There is a very interesting article on there that I don't remember seeing before: Jazz in 2500? iTunes versus Preservation. It echos a lot of issues I've had with the move to buying music digitally and reflects many reasons why I have still continued to buy CDs instead.

Interesting article.
For discography information, I highly recommend Tom Lords great CD-ROM product. I use this several times a week:
http://www.lordisco.com/
It isn't cheap. But relative to the print verison, it is much more reasonable and can have advanced search capabilities.
One of my biggest grips with old LPs is the complete lack of information. Often there isn't personal or dates. For example Reprise in the 60s is terrible for information. Columbia in the 70s wasn't much better.
That is where the CD-ROM product comes in handy to pull personal and dates.
The next use for the CD-ROM is finding all recordings of personal or songs together. I can pull all of the sessions that Charlie Christian appears with Count Basie for example.
