- Trades are done 1 CDR for 1 CDR unless agreed upon in advance.
- Discs must be burned DAO (Disc-At-Once) to avoid gaps or clicks between
songs. I will do the same. If you do not know what DAO is, please feel free
to ask.
- Do not burn at a speed of higher than 2X please. I will do the same, of
course. (I ask this because of experience. Burning discs at higher than 2X
will tend to bring out flaws or cause "static" because of foreign
material on the face of the disc).
- Do not cut/edit or fade tracks without letting me know in advance. I
will do the same. If it is appropriate, please use an 80 minute CDR.
- Do not write on or label the disc itself. I prefer silver-faced, unbranded
(quality brand but no name on the face) discs, but I am flexible. Please just let me know.
(You can get discs to almost any specification by ordering on-line from
someplace like www.xdr2.com).
- Artwork is nice. I have artwork for all of my discs so far and I will
gladly provide it. I can provide it through email (.jpeg) or a cd (again, .jpeg
files) or I will provide high-quality color copies from an HP Laserjet (NOT
an ink-jet). I would like artwork from you in return. If not, please just let
me know in advance. If you cannot provide artwork, please send along as much
information as possible, i.e. dates, locations, length, source, etc. I
REALLY appreciate this.
- NO Mp3 sourced discs without discussing it first. The same goes for TAO
(Track-At-One) discs. I am not entirely opposed to these, I just do not
prefer them, and would thus like to know in advance so I can make an
educated decision.
- If you have a problem (error, static, etc.) with a disc that I provide, I
will reburn and resend it. I expect the same in return.
- Please do not send jewel cases. I won't. Please just send the discs,
separated from one another in a bubble pack mailer. PLEASE SEND FIRST CLASS
or AIRMAIL, whichever is appropriate.
I will do the same. (Again, if you want to order jewel cases I recommend
someplace like www.xdr2.com. The jewel
cases are
inexpensive and nice to have, but realize the shipping is kind of steep.
Fragile little fuckers they are).
- Please keep me informed (i.e., email about progress and when your discs
are mailed and when you receive mine) Again, I will do the same.
- Please send your picks with your first email and send along your list or a
URL with that first email as well. I will respond to everybody with-in a few
days.
- If you do not have anything to trade, I'd like to help, but email specifically
to find out. It depends on time, work and other factors I can never predict.
- And finally, I do this as a hobby and for fun (not that that is what my
wife thinks), so please just ask and let me know. I am very reasonable and
happy to help.
