Most of my trades nowadays are done via ftp, bittorrent, binary newsgroups or direct connect, but if you have something I'm interested in I may agree to a snail mail trade. If not, I can usually do b&ps as time permits. Some fabulous B&P guidelines can be found here -- the "Doing the Deed" page is what I especially like.

My preferred brand of cd-rs are Fuji Taiyo Yudens (made in japan). They seem to be phasing those out though, so at least stick with name brand cd-rs (memorex, tdk, sony, etc) -- NO GENERIC BRANDS, PLEASE.

**My CD burner is busted right now, so I'm only doing a limited amount of trading with my dvd burner, sorry.**

If there's a band you like that is touring in the Columbus, OH area and would like the show taped, I'd be glad to do so and send you a copy of the recording if you're willing to purchase my ticket. (Unless I'm already planning to go anyway :-)) I may be able to travel to other Ohio shows as well, just check with me. Of course all of this is as my schedule permits.

TRADE FOR THE MUSIC -- DON'T INVOLVE MONEY!
