[LosslessRocker]

I don't share any live shows, anywhere with anyone because I'd rather not waste my time or theirs, when I could acheive the same thing in MP3s encoded with LAME VBR.

Now how many lossless studio albums am I sharing? Well it may not be a lot to you, but it's right around 300 GB

Blogging in a lossless message forum about how you make mp3s?

Oh dear, everyone who trades with this guy please check the frequencies of the recordings you received from him with a spectrum analyzer if you cannot hear it immediately. These are the types of people we need to watch out for. Pollutants in a healthy environment.

And just to deflect this person's negative fixation with live concerts and lossy shows, here is my positive attempt to remind myself and everyone else not to get angry with this person, we must teach him and pity his first impression. God Bless.

Here are a handful of shows in my current share at the Echoes Hub.

I run BT and DC++ both. Many lossless classic rock shows you see on the trackers today have come from that hub and others. And Vice versa. What's nice about the hub is that you are not limited to a certain time-frame for downloading until you lose a seeder, you can download from anyone who is connected at any time (unless waiting for an open slot from someone who is being heavily targeted for sharing something new and super). You can view anyone's available trade list at any time, and it has real time chat and private messages as well. And if you are a pink floyd fan, it also has the information for 800 shows online. Great place to find missing text files if you have any shows you trade a long time ago. (text files and cover art were not a standard to have included in trading many years ago)

I find staring at a bit torrent window and waiting for responses on a message forum to me dull and boring. Why wait when you can do both and fully interact in real-time AND download from BT trackers too?

Here are some soundboard recordings that I found this morning in my current available share. There was 160 other people logged into that hub this morning too. So there are plenty of options. Including 100s of DVDs.

There used to be this huge lossless community but for some weird reason it shutdown completely about 4months ago. I forgot the name to be honest but it had over 100000 members, i suppose some of you lossless guys know it. It was more like a forum than a tracker .. but it had a private tracker too

Yeah no kidding. Absolutely useless keeping live recordings in lossless

[jetje]

why don't people that support lossless just make iso files of discs and share those??? if quality is that important why rip music?

Live recordings don't have to be bad quality, plenty of soundboard recordings that outmatch officially released live albums! At least to my opinion.
