most of my collection is now in audio format. I do most of my work on a Apple G4 so my discs are gennerally AIFF files. If you are not familiar with AIFF files, they are apples WAV file so to speak and are n no way lossy. my discs HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY DECODED from thier original source of either SHN or FLAC. I have rated the sound on many of my collection and i cosider myself highly discrimate on the quality of sound and i also grade differently depending if the source is SBD or not. For example if a SBD is not Crystal it would recieve a B while a nice clean AUD recording would get an A As for musical interests, i'm ALWAYS looking to widen my selection and if you have and artist that i do not there is a good chance that i'd be interested. I'm really interested in some Beta Band, Audioslave, Dire Straits among much much more. I'm not a crazy about source information but it is NICE to have! usual tradeing rules apply if you don't know them i'd be happy to explain....and most of all don't forget to atleast ask for a trade. Cheers and Happy Tradeing -Justin
