And what YOU don't understand is that people download these mp3's, trade them and pollute the trading pool. And someone like me will trade for that show, give up a REAL bootleg, and get that shit in return. And the answer on the other end is, "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know."

I dont trade either. I download for my own personal use too...and when I discovered about a year ago that there was something BETTER than mp3...well I didnt just turn my nose up at it because it wasnt as convenient as mp3...

I dont download copywrited material either, so ive never had a problem with BT (that's BIT TORRENTING, not Big Troubles )

Were gonna git ya, BT...one of these days...you will join us on Planet Lou!

:D The only thing that has stopped me from downloading BT, is needed software and TIME. The size of the files is not all that exciting either. But I do know that BT is a better file. Shitty MP3's in comparison, that have smaller file sizes and convenience will almost always outweigh. The thing is, Im not in disagreement with BT users. I just wish there was a happy medium.

I'm on both planets... I know i need to keep my MP3's to myself,which i do, and my lossless shows are up for grabs...

You don't understand trading and why it's important not to needlessly degrade quality, which is what mp3 is. And you never will understand this.

Dude, these a bootlegs! Get a grip, quality is shoddy at best. This isn't a studio production there Mutt Lange!

Whatever. You don't understand trading and you'd be laughed at in any trading circle, except for this one where the standards are low.

The real question at this point is "Were these shows ever actually posted anywhere, and/or are they available for download in any format? (for personal enjoyment, I don't get into trading :D )

[ThrillsNSpills]

I'm trying to understand this stuff.
I've got the files and WinAmp.
just can't play them . arrrrrrgh

Theres nothing more annoying than getting a bootleg from a trade sticking it on and finding clicks between the tracks and that its MP3 sourced.

Hammersmith 78 must not be encoded to MP3 ever

Make 'em send first or tell them you absolutely will not trade unless they check with Exact Audio Copy.

If they're not willing to check for mp3, then I will not be trading with them, it's that simple.
