Ok, I've put out some feelers and decided it's time to give this a go. Pamler and I are going to start things off. We're each going to make a DVD and swap it with each other. Once we've received and copied the tunes to our hard drives, we will pass them on the the next person in the list. The list below represents the people who expressed interest in the last thread (USB Trade). If you are interested in participating please PM your address to both me and Palmer. We will not publically post your address.

I want this "tree" be help those who don't have much of a show collection (including myself) and also for those who have one started to be able to expand on. If you have shows you would like to throw into the pot and you have a DVD burner, list said shows here (to keep repeats down) and then mail them to either me or Palmer. Please trade only shows in lossless formats (ex. shn & flac.). We'll take the shows we want/need and then start the trickle down of the tree.

We will try to keep track of which DVDs with which shows are in rotation and whose gotten what so you don't get repeats. I'm thinking this will start out small, but hopefully it will catch on expand and we'll have more than a few DVDs floating around at any given time. If you have any questions, feel free to post them. We will explain things better if needed.

Traders: (BOLD means I have received your address)

[casey]

so... is it gonna work by mailing out the DVD to the first person, they download it to their hard drive, then we simply mail it off to the next person on the list?

[harry_hood]

Exactly, unless you want to contribute something yourself. Then you can burn some shows to a DVD and send them to me and we'll start the process from the top of the tree. If you receive a DVD, you'll just simply take what you want and send it along. Cool, no?

[casey]

werd!


do the dvd's burn just the same as a cdr, but only they have more space for fitting music? Is a dvd burner necessary of can you use a cd burner with the dvd? Sorry kinda new at this.

A DVD burner will be necessary to burn DVDs, but you can read off of them with a DVD-Rom as far as I know. If you can watch DVD's on your 'puter than you can benefit from these discs. Hopefully that will work for most people, but if not we can always sort something out and we could send you the files on other media.

Like harry said, just send us your addresses and let us know if you want to contribute shows. I think the beauty of this will be that instead of having 'project 93' etc...we can help spread the tastiest of shows. :rockon:

Ah...my first batch of shows will be:

DVD #2
8.1.99
5.22.94
8.24.93
2.20.93
6.26.95

That is assuming it all fits on 2 DVD's...I'll update any changes.

[marbletulip]

I'd be in for this.

I'm all for adding more to the list as it goes along. So say I get the DVD after 5 people down the line. It's the same DVD that was sent out in the beginning of the list, for argument's sake. Now, I want to add 2 shows. I can either save the exisiting shows from DVD #1 to my hard drive and then re-burn them to a new blank DVD, along with my own shows that I want to add if space allows. Or, I can send off the original DVD #1 with a second DVD containing the shows that I want to add to the tree. Does that make sense?

I guess if you are burning shows in SHN or FLAC or even WAV, they will take up a lot of space on a DVD (which holds 4.7 GB). By the end of the tree, the mailer could contain several DVDs, but the cost of shipping is still minimal, so it wouldn't matter.

[harry_hood]

I'd say keep the original DVD (probably will be full) and then add a DVD of your own to the pack. If anyone notices along the route that a DVD is looking in rough shape and has a burner you could take it upon yourself to re-burn. They should travel ok though. I'm going to try to find some sleeves to make them as scratch resistant as possible.

[Palmer]

Is it possible to get this pinned for all to see? :pirate:

Personally, I think you should send out DVD 1 to the next person in line and send either Harry_Hood or myself the DVD('s) you want to add to the rotation, that way we keep new blood circulating and we can keep the tunes flowing through everybody. Thoughts?

[ledfloyd]

i'm going to pass on this at the moment cause i'll probably end up slowing it down right now. lol.

[phishyflanker]

I would like to participate. I think I have some decent shows to add.

[harpua1031]

who wants to send me a freebie? come on, my computer was stolen!!!!

[Palmer]

Sure man. You don't have to contribute to be a part of this Tree. The idea is to get shows to people who don't have many. If you can contribute, great, but if not it's cool.

Anyone interested, PM myself & Harry_Hood your address.

[casey]

ohhhhh, nice. I used to have a copy of that 8-1-99... one of my favorite Antelopes.

[mattlevan]

I don't have a DVD burner. :(

Edit; Nice first 3 DVDs, Harry and Palmer. Can't wait to listen!

[harry_hood]

DVD #1 is on its way to Palmer. He should get it in a few days. :pirate:

ETA: If you're on the list above, but haven't sent me your address, please PM me. If you aren't on the list, PM me and I will add you.

[Josh]

I'm on the list but I'm afraid I don't have any means to burn a DVD. Plus, most if not all the shows I have are now on CD's as mp3's, I had to free up some hard drive space.

[harry_hood]

You don't have to contribute to be a part. I wanted to make this something where people who don't have many shows, myself including, could get some new ones. I'm contributing what I can, but its understood that not everyone will be able to. If you still want in shoot me a PM. :rockon:

[Palmer]

Ok...update. I'm busier than hell and it turns out 5 shows will fit on each 4.7GB DVD. So I'm sending one DVD right now and will send the second DVD shortly. This disc includes:

8.1.99
5.22.94
8.24.93
6.26.95
2.20.93

All them are killer. I'll send DVD #3 asap with some more choice shows.

Keep an eye on your mailbox harry, and enjoy I hope this works out for everyone.

[phishyflanker]

how is the swap coming along?

[harry_hood]

Awaiting some mail from Palmer, new hard drive installed, as soon as I get DVDs from him I'll put the shows on my computer and forward them on to the next guy. The list above is the mailing order, more or less. Can't wait to listen to some new shows.
