Well, it looks like there is a valid difference of opinion here about which
format, and 2 are rather prevalent.  I think we should continue discussing
advantages and disadvantages and eventually vote on it.  I would put my
vote in for MPD if there was built-in support on LDAO for the format.  But
on the side of zip I would just go for the standard Windows .zip format.  I
use PK and I don't believe it has support for the gzip'ed tar files
(correct me if I'm wrong).
