Hello & Welcome to my cd trading page. As stated above, NOTHING HERE IS FOR SALE Please take a couple minutes to review this page.

There's so much that can go wrong when duplicating audio cd's. Errors are introduced in the ripping and copying process. Many of the flaws you recieve in shows are a result of a bad burn and not the expected flaw of a boot. So please read about Copying Audio CD-R's. It's up to us to keep the music preserved.

The best way to trade music that insures no degradation to the music is by using lossless format. Shn and Flac are the most common. There's no difference working with these formats than working with mp3. Like mp3 they are compressed formats. But unlike mp3 there's no loss in sound quality. If you can convert a wav file to mp3, then you can convert a wav to Shn or Flac. Contact me if you're interested in delving into these formats. I'd be glad to get you started. The appz used to convert wav's to shn/flac are free.

I'm pretty easy going about trading. This is supposed to be fun so let's keep it that way. I do have a few guidelines tho. I think that most are just standard. But there are two guidlines that may not be standard that I will insist on.

  • Nothing is ever for sale.
  • No commercial releases.
  • No mp3 sourced shows!!! Or any other lossy format!!!
  • The rules of the trading group our contact came thru apply.
  • Quality discs only.
  • Please, each disc in it's own sleeve. Cd-R's are fragile.
  • Please do not write on disc. Write artist and show date on sleeve. No Stickers on Discs.
  • DAO No TAO or 2 second gaps unless it's a studio Boot. Studio boots can have 2 second gaps or not.
  • Communication is important. Please keep me informed of any problems and when you've dropped my discs in the mail. I'll do the same. It only takes a minute :)
  • I'll rip each disc using EAC. I burn at 8X, unless requested to burn at different speed. I expect a similar burn speed. Surf & You'll see that burning at high speeds is not good. Do you want your disks burned fast?
  • No burning on the fly! If your serious about music then do some surfing. You'll find that errors are intorduced when ripping/copying. EAC should be used. It's free.
  • I expect replacement of a bad disc. I'll replace any bad discs from my end.
  • I'm willing to do B&P's as time permits. Please contact me for my B&P guidelines.
  • If you find these guide lines difficult just drop me a note of your issues and we'll see if we can work things out.

I'll take great care in providing you with the best possible copy I can give you. Please return the care.

Unfortunately, there are some people who don't feel like keeping their word. You may want to stay away from anyone who I've had a bad experience with and are considered a Bad Trader

The "Incoming Shows" button in the top right corner of each page will list all the shows that are either in transit or sitting hear waiting for evaluation. If there's something there that interests you, just let me know and I'll give it a listen to asap.

Info on sound quality can be found Here

So let the fun begin!!
