  1. I'm a taper myself and I think it's ok as long as the lossless version is passed along as well. I mean when we post a lossless show there will be always someone asking for an mp3 version, so we tend to offer that from the very beginning, cause someone else will do it and post it sooner or later you can't prevent that. Not everyone is a hardcore collector looking for the lossless stuff and just download it for the show to have it and have it in a format you can put on your ipod or whatever.

    I wouldn't call 320kbit/s that crappy but back in the days like 192kbit/s was the standard which is pretty crappy.

    What I personally hate is that many of the older shows have only been traded as mp3's and some jerk(s) burned them to an Audio CD. And then many years later you finally find the show and then you find out it's mp3 sourced, and was a complete waste of time. It even got to the point that most people don't seem to care anymore, if something is truly lossless or not. Because no one bothers to check to check in the first places.

    but that is exactly the problem. I find lp shows in 160kbit/s or 96kbit/s, I'm no audio freak but damn my ears aren't that bad. I understand there is no way to prevent people from turning things into mp3 it happens. and my comment wasn't directed at lplive by any means just in general. If someone wants it in mp3 then let them do it, flac > mp3 isn't that hard

     

    And that is how it starts andone, people burn it to audio cd., then either "forget" about it or don't care enough to tell someone its mp3d and shared to the masses. Technology is a beautiful thing but it is also our worse enemy.

     

    People don't understand that a cassette is analog; or a minidisc is analog. They don't care to know they just want the show period. Back when there were only cassettes and vhs tapes people didn't understand that cassettes and vhs tapes wear down after time, playing them, etc. That is why not trading things out is kinda a double edge sword. Yeah you'll have the show but if by the time you decide to get off your high horse and share it, it might already be shit. There are shows I've taped 10 years ago that show signs of degrading just imagine shows that aren't taken care of? Even that mass 2001 2nd gen tape has degrading on it, It is a completely shame but sadly this why it is important to get source information and track down those tapes/cassettes/minidiscs/etc.

     

    The trading scene as I said earlier is hardly dead it is actually more alive then ever before. Quality is far better then quantity, i'd rather have 20 lp shows with source information then 90 lP shows with almost no source info.

     

    i don't care, never was and i guess never will. unless i'll buy some super-speakers. i'm totally fine with mp3 320kbps.

     

    maybe from the first place the tapers should to release mp3 version to the "public", and lossless version trades between the tapers. anyway today it all mix together for the most of the people, and i guess 90% of the people don't even have codec for playing FLACs.

    Most tapers won't put their stuff in mp3. I won't even do it for my personal listening. nothing about high end speakers I just prefer my stuff to be lossless

     

    you don't need a codec for flac, you just need winamp or vlc or foobar or any media player really.

  2. just from a few people that I've spoken to and have taped LP and refuse to share. they aren't fans of how much lossy stuff is floating around. Personally as a taper that annoys me to no end. granted I have never taped LP but the time, effort, energy, among other things that go into taping a show the last thing you want to see is it being shared in a crappy mp3. I've seen it twice with shows I've recorded.

  3. In what format did you upload this to youtube? it looks horrible lol. It's just 360p too.

    Anyhow, the picture doesn't look as sharp as the current copy BUT that one is almost too sharp making all the edges really fuzzy. If the 2nd gen copy doesn't have the dropouts in the tape it's more than a worthy upgrade.

    well i didn't say it was perfect lol. i didn't pay attention to the format as i just blindly uploaded it. when it is on dvd i'll post samples

  4. other person make it RT, or maybe (very) RT lol.

    any info about source 3?

    the other person made it NFT as well so I assume it could probably be TAP as the other person won't trade it no matter what you offer them. and i have no clue about source 3

     

    Is this low gen or 2nd gen?:

    2nd tape that i hunted down

     

     

    I think the circulated version from Worcester 01 is mid gen. 2nd gen upgrade is only have TheD7 but I'm not sure.

    correct and here is a youtube sample

     

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAUlEcyKH0U

     

    it isn't that pixalted lol youtube killed the quality. Just from the 15 second clip I've seen I think it is a nice upgrade. wouldn't say major by any means but as I said earlier with the filmer giving away his master and the guy that got the masters not having a working email. This is pretty much the best that will be out there I'm afraid

  6. I'm still trying to make the torrent work, but it just won't start.

    All the uTorrent/BitTorrent says is 'Finding peers'.

    Anybody got an idea ?

    you need to shut off dht and a few extra preferences

     

    go to utorrent

    hold down control and hit the P key

    on the left hand side you'll see a list of things starting with General and so forth.

    click on Bitorrent

    uncheck everything but "ask tracker for scrape info" and "enable peer exchange"

    below that you'll see "protocol encryption" make sure legacy connections are checked and where it says outgoing is disabled

    then go to Connection

    uncheck everything but "add to windows firewall"

    now hit apply

    stop the torrent, restart utorrent

     

    ;)

  7. So what's right then? I don't feeling like changing it every day.

    I won't argue over who filmed what just look at deans list everything that isn't a tv master is almost always from ny/nj/ct/ma/pa and so forth. The ones that aren't could have been filmed by someone else and he bought it off them or whatever the case may/might be. Example he has 2 mudvayne masters

     

    06/08/01/Tinley Park,IL/Tweeter Center/Ozz-Fest/21 mins/Digital 8 Master/Angle#1 Left/

    06/08/01/Tinley Park,IL/Tweeter Center/Ozz-Fest/20 mins/Hi8 Master/Angle#2 Barricade/

     

    a prime example of people filming for him and him acquiring it. Unless dean cloned himself and he was at 2 places at the same time.

     

    If brad says he didn't film it then I guess he didn't andone. I'm just going by what I know and what I've been told.

  8. [TAP] 02.05.2001 | Newtown, NSW | Enmore Theatre [1st Gen.]

    [RT] 27.10.2001 | Worcester, MA | Worcester Centrum Centre [1st Gen. Upgrade]

     

    both would be sadly very hard to get as the first one lost most of his masters/tapes in the floods a few years back. It is unknown if the tape even survived. And most importantly if anyone even has a 1st gen copy that still answers emails

     

    2nd one is equally as hard as the seller sold his masters and he wasn't a popular trader to begin with. Lots of un-circulated stuff in his list
