As the creator, you're the only one who can edit the file, but anyone
can read it.

From the FAQ:
"My JAM collection isn't digitised - they sit in four drawers of the
house on cassettes."

Are those the drawers you'd go for in the event of fire? :D

understandable now that the stuff isn't digitized and I can understand
if they are in hard copy form with the cassettes that it would be a
very daunting task to transfer all those eps to digitized form.

Well with more and more "lost" episodes cropping up here from time to
time, Dean probably won't even have to transfer that many programs
from his extraordinarily vast collection! I mean, I didn't expect
someone to come along and share several episodes from Series 29-30
that as far as I knew nobody anywhere had available (or at least, no
one on the JAM Master Episode List). Shows what I know. :) In fact,
most of the incomplete series I have now are missing just a single
program, or two at the most. Something Dean would probably cope with a
lot easier if it came time to digitize some of the lost classics in
his collection. :) Hopefully more generous souls will appear with
episodes never available before in the meantime.

God, I love this place! :)
