1) be honest about send dates. send when you say you will. 2) do not send MP3 sourced shows. converting entire shows into MP3 format is the work of the devil. i have no use for them. i don't want them, plain and simple. 3) disk at once. no gaps. period. unless you specify ahead of time or i tell you that its okay, TAO is *unacceptable.* 4) i use only high-quality CDR's, such as sony, verbatim, TDK certified, and mitsui. i expect the same in return. if this is a problem, please let me know ahead of time. 5) NO IMATIONS. They dont work in my stereo.
