Here are the rules for trading,
01. Shows are for 1:1 trade only. No selling and no 2:1 or 3:1 trading.
02. Absolutely no MP3 or MP3 sourced shows.
03. Burn audio CDs in disc-at-once (DAO) mode. No gaps between tracks.
04. Use good quality CD-Rs. I generally use Sony. I will not accept Memorex discs under any circumstance.
05. Mail CD-Rs in padded envelope (preferably bubblewrap, NO FIBER MAILERS).
06. Place CD-Rs in sleeves, jewel cases will just break and add to shipping costs.
07. DO NOT write on the CD-Rs. Just include a note in the sleeve or put a sticky note on the disc.
08. If you have the show in SHN or FLAC format, send that (makes archiving shows easier), don't convert to audio.
09. Whoever proposes the trade sends first, unless we've traded before and it went smoothly, then we send at the same time.
If any of these rules are a problem, just email me, maybe we can work something out.
Here are the B&P rules,
1. No more than 5 discs of material in one B&P.
2. Use bubble mailers, NOT fiber mailers.
3. Use sleeves for the discs, jewel cases just break and add to shipping costs.
4. DO NOT use Memorex CD-Rs. My burner doesn't like them and will not burn some. If you send Memorex you may get back nothing but your blanks.
5. Specify whether you want the show in SHN or audio. Be warned that audio may take longer to get done.
6. Include a note in the package with your name, address, email and the shows the deal is for.
7. Use stamps for the return envelope. DO NOT use metered postage, it may not work and I will not be able to return your discs.
