Trade

      I am an active trader on a daily basis. I am focused on low gen tapes especially, however, from time to time I am also collecting manufactured CDs from some bootleg labels. If you're interested, please email me so we can chat and trade eventually.

      Speaking about trading, as said before, I am mainly interested in low gen tapes. Since trading means free, legal exchange of fan-made concert tapes, radio or TV broadcasts and material that was never - and will never be - officially released, I am glad to may offer something for the others. Due to these facts, I am always interested in getting something I do not have yet. I use (0) either for analog and digital lineages.

My Own Trade Rules

1. I trade at a 1/1 rate, be they CD-R or DVD-R or digital download. I would now prefer to trade WAV and FLAC files, but I will happily still do the odd CD-R audio trade here and there.

2. I use Exact Audio Copy (EAC) in Secure Mode (read/write offsets corrected) to extract WAV files onto my hard drive and then burn using DAO (Disc-At-Once) at 4x speed. When it comes to live recordings, please always use the DAO mode to avoid the 2 second gaps between the tracks. Digital files should be always checked with Trader's Little Helper (TLH) before sending/uploading.

3. No MP3 or other lossy sourced material. I have the ability to detect whether a show has a lossy lineage or not. If I find what you have sent me is from any kind of lossy source, I will stop trading with you automatically.

4. Use a decent media to burn onto please or decent software to prepare a digital download. I expect the same from you.

5. Any faulty discs and uploads from my side will be replaced by me and I expect the same from you.

6. Do not use jewel cases when physical media are used. Just paper sleeves and envelopes. Please do not write on the discs, either a post-it or a slip of paper in the case will suffice. Before sending discs, please take so care with the package.
