Hey... I'm all for doing that. I used to be the same way, paying DM40-50 for shows when I lived in Germany (US Army) back in the days before I knew music was free! When SHN'ing these shows up, make sure your EAC read offsets are correct and the lineage (liberated boot, name of the disc, etc) is correctly noted in the info file. Also, correct any incorrect info listed on the disc (see below).
Also, be aware that some of these shows are incomplete (missing tracks, tracks out of order, mislabeled tracks, mislabeled venues, etc) or the quality may be less than what we're used to. These companies don't care about the music (quality, completness, accuracy of the info, etc)...they care about the money. It seems that the more un-taperfriendly a band is, the more "commercial" boots you'll find of their shows. Sometimes that kind of disc may be the ONLY copy you'll find floating around. So I say SHN 'em if you got 'em. Just tell people where it came from, etc. Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mininger.org http://db.etree.org/mininger At Wednesday 09:17 3/27/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hello Etree > >I was wondering how etree felt about oversea >bootlegs and converting them to SHN.
