I use Kodak 80 mins for almost everything (unless I am running low, then I'll sub with another quality brand until I order from Terrapin). Please try and use another high qual brand when sending to me. Right now most everything is CDR wavs but when I can I archive the original shns for snail mail or ftp trades, which I am always up for on my cable modem and ftp server. I use EAC for DAE and burn on my Plextor. Sound and show grades are somewhat arbitrary. If you want to know how it sounds ask and i'll let you know. ALWAYS looking for good funk and funky jazz. Any band you think I should hear and don't see on my list, please let me know. BnP's welcome, just drop me a line.
