Exclamation Sounds fine to me...

I know it sounds silly to us Mac traders, but I'm getting this audio from a trader at a torrent download site. Torrent traders are purists and many won't deal with Mac fans because of all the Mp3s we circulate. I had to agree I wouldn't pollute the audio pool by allowing this show to be converted. I think we could obtain more uncirculated Mac boots from these sources if we made an effort to maintain the lossless format when we trade. There are more audience recordings out there. A lot have been made by experienced recorders who record every show that comes to town even if they aren't fans of a particular band. Most only trade within the lossless trading groups. The big obsticle to getting these shows is convincing purists that Mac fans are committed to maintaining lossless audio. If you don't mind agreeing to this let me know if you want this show. I'll be making a list (and checking it twice) and will start sending cds out right after Christmas.

because that is one thing I have had to do to get some of the early 2003 shows (ie-May 27,2003-Worcester, MA) that may never have seen the light of day 'cause the tapers did not want their shows being mp3'd/converted/posted.

The lossless tapers I know of and trade with know how bad a name FM collectors have when it comes to poor quality shows & transfers (Thank God I have other music to entice 'em with.) and not following rules.

Just let me know when yer ready to trade
