I think it would be helpfull to have good metadata with the recordings,
maybe some naming scheme, which gives consistant information about the
recording, allong with some info text, that describes the setting of the
recording and the identified signals.
Moreover I think there should be bigger and smaller files. Not everyone
needs 8MHz recordings which yield gigibytes of data within seconds, not
everyone has the space and connection bandwidth to store them or the
computing power to process them. Small is beautiful, narrow band and
short recordings can fulfill most demands.
