First, and most important... let me know the quality of the show, and if there's anything wrong with it, (missing songs, skips, pops, hiss, anything whatsoever), before making the trade. I will do the same. Remember -- "Honesty is the best policy."
Source info is a MUST.
Only use brand name discs, please. Let me know which brand you're using before we start the trade.
I trade disc for disc, not show for show.
I WILL NOT accept MP3 sourced recordings or Cd's burned TAO. Make sure the Cd's were burned DAO. I hate those annoying gaps between tracks!!!
If we aren't trading SHN's, ALWAYS extract to your hard drive before burning. I strongly suggest using EAC.
We both decide on a day to mail out the shows. If for some reason, it's gonna take time before you can mail it out, let me know.
As for mailing the shows out, I send Cd's in sleeves, (it's cheaper that way), and setlists/source info are emailed. (No cover art) I expect you to do the same.
Use bubble-padded mailers. NOT the fiber-padded ones. They suck.
Always keep me updated on the status of the trade through email. Let me know when you mail the show out, when you receive your show from me, and if there are any problems. I will do the same, of course. Communication is the key.
Finally, DON'T RIP ME OFF!!! If you do, I will hunt you down and destroy you.
