I SUPPORT BOTH AUDIO CDs AND LOSSLESS DATA CD-Rs
Please read the following paragraphs
and decide which way is more comfortable for you.
I personally prefer trading lossless data files to audio. Not only it
saves CDs (so that it saves money for shipping), but it also gives me an
opportunity to burn it into audio my own way. However, i am not
completely against trading audio.

1. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BURN
AUDIO CDs:
|
|
a. |
I am interested only in CD-Rs made of original silver
CDs or their trustworthy copies. I fully accept lossless format like shn, flac and ape, but please do not offer audio-converted mp3s or MPC
and other formats of this kind - they are dross. |
|
b. |
The best way to rip a CD on your harddisk is to use EAC (Exact Audio
Copy software) in secure mode. After ripping, burn the CD at slow speed (4x). Use
Verbatim or TDK CD-Rs. After burning, check all breaks
between tracks for clicks. |
I will do the same for you.
|
|
2. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BURN
DATA CD-Rs:
|
|
a.
|
I support just lossless file-formats like SHN, FLAC or APE (i am not into mp3s, MPC or other lossy crap).
|
|
b.
|
If you need to rip your audio CD before the lossless compression please use EAC (Exact Audio Copy software) in secure mode.
|
|
c.
|
Burn it on any kind of generic CDs
|
|
d.
|
In case of SHNs you are supposed to make the md5 check (the md5 file shall be attached to
corresponding SHN files on the burned CD), or the internal check in case of FLAC or APE.
The checks shall be made after burning, on the burned CD. That is enough for me to
be sure that everything has been done properly. |
I will do the same for you.
|
|
3. COMMON RULES :
|
|
a.
|
I trade one for one. In case of data CDs the number is counted before the compression.
|
|
b.
|
I trade by who asks first sends first - If you approach me first to trade, you have to send the discs first
and vice versa |
