i for 1 have been on etree for a couple of years, and the last thing i want is another email with rules sent to me. the thing everyone needs to realize is that lots and lots of us etree traders also trade with people outside this group (taper-unfriendly is a perfect example) who don't know, and probably could care less, about the etree rules and never will. i've traded for many shows where i did not know the lineage. now when i trade for etree friendly bands i expect the source data and wont trade without it. but for bands that are impossible to find (like bauhaus/love and rockets -- who i know are taper friendly as they posted so on their site) i will take any show without source copy.
so it once again comes down to: don't trade for a show without source info if you care that much g -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of drew harl Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [etrade] Concern over lineage Maybe somebody with etree can write up some kind of official text file (any volunteers?) that would let everybody know what etree is all about and maybe even breakdown what lineage is all about and why it is important to make sure that this info is kept with the show and never changed. Then, like on the pcp list, this can be sent to the etrade list once a week or so to let new people to etree know whats up. -Drew --- Mike Plantz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As digital music trading becomes more and more accessible (as it > should) and > the popularity of bands that allow taping continues to increase, > i've > noticed that it's becoming much easier for people to share the > music that > etree has tried to propagate. being in a college scene, i've been > able to > see the availability of shows grow from a handful of people (mainly > etree > subscribers) to a great deal of people sharing these same shows. > however, > i've also noticed that a good number of these people who have > become > involved in trading by means outside etree often have little > understanding > (or regard in some cases) for documenting and preserving digital > music > lineage. > I'll be the first to admit, 80% of the time i cannot tell a > difference in > quality between a song/show ripped from mp3 and one converted from > SHN (no > offense to audiophiles graced with spectacular audibility). > however, i do > have respect for the long-term preservation that SHN affords. most > casual > listeners outside etree (and other quality tree/vine/trading > circles and > sites) are simply happy to get their hands on a show, and it's hard > to > explain the importance of trading music by a loss-less compression > when (to > most people) mp3 sounds perfectly loss-less to most listeners. > even on > etree, i have made several snail mail trades and b&ps where the > person i was > trading with failed to include a text file or account for the shows > lineage > - great for me to listen to in the privacy of my own home/car, but > completely useless to trade. > my question to the list is this - as etree continues to grow, the > possibility of new subscribers entering the list with a previous > stockpile > of shows burned outside the shn/dao/etc. method also grows. does > etree > "management" and it's list subscribers have any ideas on how to > keep clean > the lineage that etree has worked so hard to preserve? > > mike > > WOB:email me off list to set something up if you feel this is a > huge > wob...cannot offer up a standard wob since i am sans burner for a > few weeks > SORRY ABOUT THE CROSS-POST! > > _______________________________________________ > etree.org etrade mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To unsubscribe go to: http://mail.etree.org/mailman/listinfo/etrade > > Need help?
