I have the same basic rules as most.

  Please use high quality discs.I have had problems with maxell and Imation.I personally use Taiyo Yudens

Burn using DAO. During a trade let me know when discs are sent and received

Be upfront with any disc issues such as drop outs or level changes.

  As far as Greatful Dead, I am a life long fan but don't see much reason in putting my whole list up as you can down load much of it. This list is still being constructed.The sound quality is subjective based on factors that may be different from yours.  Keep it fun. Share the music.
