I am currently trading bootlegs. I trade audio CD-R's.
Enjoy!
What I do:
- I do not sell anything ever.
- I do not trade commercially available releases.
- I do not do B+P or 2: 1. This may change in the future when the collection becomes larger. Besides, my tastes are so spread out, that you will probably have something I will like.
- If trading as part of a tree, if I am your branch, you send postage for me to send to you if you send blanks. If you we work out a trade, postage is paid by each sender.
- I can not trade things I do not have. I will agree to trade things that I do not have if I am expecting it from someone I have traded with successfully before.
- I guarantee every disc I send. If it does not play, I will replace it with blanks (if you can read the data via PC using Exact Audio Copy) or a new copy of the material. I guarantee discs because:
- I use Exact Audio Copy to rip. This uses Digital Audio Extraction. (There is no quality loss.)
- I use Easy CD Pro to burn.
- I am currently using TDK 74 minute discs. I also have some Imation 80 minute, Verbatim 80 minute, and TDK 80 minute discs. The 80 minute discs will only be used if the material requires it or for B+P that requires it. I have also used Sony's.
- I burn discs at 1X.
- I always use DAO.
- I burn using a Yamaha CRW6416s connected via SCSI.
- I check every disc after burn using Exact Audio Copy.
- I listen to every disc all the way through on my Panasonic SL-S231C.
- I will supply artwork if I have it.
- I may have the cover scan and set list posted on a page linked to this page.
- If I don't, then I can send you a URL to someone else's page that contains the artwork and set list.
- If I can't do that, I can email the cover scan and set list.
- I can also create artwork in black and white on plain paper. The inserts I create are for single discs, slim doubles, and fat triples. I can send this artwork.
- I can also send you the relevant part of my cdplayer.ini file via email. This is by your request.
- I send without cases. I wrap each disc in a piece of paper with the name written on the paper. I then sandwich the discs between two pieces of cardboard. I also mark packages with "DO NOT BEND."
- I send using first class mail which takes about two or three days for the east coast, three or four for the west coast. I prefer to deal only within the USA and sometimes Canada.
- I email when I send. I email when I receive.
- I like to put the people that I have had good trading experiences with on the page below.
- I expect you to do the same or to tell me which things you will not do.
When contacting me please answer the following questions:
- Do you guarantee every disc you send will play correctly?
- What software do you use to rip?
- What software do you use to burn?

- You must send artwork if you have it, via email, posting it to the web, or with the discs.
