Bret Ostroff - For Trade
I have a few ground rules for trades.? Many of them are common etiquette that you should follow regardless of the trader.? I'm a nice guy but a serious trader, so if you don't like my rules, please take your trading to someone else:
- I prefer to receive?SHN/FLAC versus CD Audio.? If you only keep audio copies of your shows, please use EAC (www.exactaudiocopy.de) in secure mode to do your audio extraction.? I will not tolerate generation loss in the digital age.
- I archive every show in lossless digitally compressed?format (FLAC/SHN) unless a show is explicitly noted as an MP3 source.? I can trade you whatever format you want?(just please don't ask me to convert SHN to FLAC or vice versa).
- "Media Count"?always refers to the number of?80-minute CDs used for CD-Audio format-- even if the show has an MP3 source.? A compressed copy of the show will obviously use less CDs.
- NEVER convert MP3s to CD Audio without keeping the originals if you plan to trade them.
- No cheapo media!??The lowest quality CD-Rs?I use is TDK.? For B&P's, I expect high-quality blanks (Kodak, Mitsui, Verbatim, etc.).
- Please do not write on my discs.? I will not write on yours.
- I have an HDBURN-compatible drive.? If you prefer to trade 1.4GB CDs, we can all help save the plastic rainforests!
- Lastly, a show is not necessarily?for trade just because it is listed.? Please view my For Trade and Not For Trade lists for accurate show?trade status.
GO EAGLES!
