Personally recorded or public domain recordings might be OK, but be
careful about copyright infringement on commercially purchased
materials.

The SLICK thing to do would be to convert these bird calls to MPEG,
stuff them in a database indexed by common name and binomial, make
it web-accessible, provide a downloadable builder so the user
could specify loops without ID, or the learning CD-style announcement
followed by one instance of the call, etc., and let folks
make their OWN customized tapes from their PC!

Now...that would be SLICK!
