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.
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.
