MP3, most likely.  This is THE format now in favor for Old Time Radio 
collectors because you can get things like every Jack Benny program in 
existence (630 episodes) on 8 discs for maybe $25 instead of having to 
have to hunt up hundreds and hundreds of cassettes or reels for maybe 
$500.  One of my favorite MP3 OTR dealers offers his entire collection 
of over 39,000 episodes of over 800 titles on a spindle of DVD-MP3 or a 
portable hard drive you supply for $150.   He only lists 18 Miller 
Chesterfield programs and 13 misc Miller programs.  But he does list 200 
Jubilee episodes on eight CD-MP3 discs.

Please, please, Al, don't play these all at once in a row.  I fear for 
your sanity if you do.  Is there a cure for being Millerized?
