Windows and Linux users: Create Your Own `Feature for Streaming the Lossless` Stay tuned for updates.
2008-10-03 -- Part B (The second half of the evening's performance of 2006-05-23 Lugano Festival Palazzo dei Congressi) is now in the Archive). 2008-09-08 -- Brahms Show Fixed 2008-09-07 -- Tutorial Amended 2008-09-04 -- Brahms at the 2006 Lugano Festival, Switzerland 2008-08-27 -- Stay tuned here for Euroradio Summer Festival concerts in streaming ogg-FLAC format! 2008-08-26 Update -- the more command-line-oriented Windows and/or Linux user may want to use the (also regularly updated) alternative tutorial. (OP edited for clarity)
Three simple steps to creating your own "feature for streaming the lossless files" (on the Internet Archive):

1. Encoding & Uploading -- FLAC Frontend users note: before encoding to ogg-FLAC you must disable replay gain. For encoding to FLAC, by all means, use replay gain (if you must).
a) Encode your original .wav format audio show to the ogg-FLAC (lossless) format (using FLAC Frontend), and to the FLAC format (using one of any number of encoding and/or converting programs [including FLAC Frontend] -- or if you're a CLI bug, using simple commands).
b) Upload your show to the Internet Archive's "Open Source Audio" (or to the "Live Music Archive)."
2. Deriving At left of the details page of your show, hit the "Edit item" link, whereupon you will see the "Metadata editor," and near the bottom of the page, select "Allow only non-lossy derivatives for files in this item." Hit "Submit," then wait for update, which takes a few minutes. 3. Creating the Stream
a) Using the ogg-FLAC (.oga) file download links on your show's details page, create an m3u file.
b) Upload the m3u file to the ftp server: (hit "Edit item" again, giving you the "Metadata editor" page, where you will hit "Item Manager," then on the Item Manager page hit "checkout -- edit item's files (non XML)."
c) Go back to the Metadata editor page and use the "Format" drop-down corresponding to the m3u file and select "VBR M3U." Hit "Submit" button at bottom of page -- again, the update takes a few minutes.
d) Once your details page updates, find the new (VBR M3U) "Stream" link. Use this URL in your VLC media player to listen losslessly to your show -- what I like to call "learn before you burn."
Example show featuring lossless "Stream" link: Blasphemous Creation - Shadows of Evil

Any questions? Here's the place to post 'em! Stay tuned for updates.
