Recordings, Recordings, Recordings

When STAR was broadcasting on a Restricted Service License (RSL), recordings had to be made and kept of all audio broadcast. This works fine for short periods of time. However, we have been broadcasting online for most of a year now.

As we have been making use of the same tools for recording, we seem to be running low on disk space as none of the recordings are deleted. As detailed here, we did move some of the recordings to another machine. Unfortunately we are still running out of disk space...

There seem to be only two solutions. Get more disk space (and spend money!) or set a policy for deleting after a period of time. I've got a feeling the second one will win. Who really listens to year-old radio shows except anoraks? :)
