From 2nd generation wav cdr
Thread
Posts in chronological order
Someone (I'm not accusing you, Gym Bitch, but someone) is trying to prove that more people are interested in mp3 by clicking on the torrent file dozens of times themselves. The little game is not working!
Linage is wrong
It should say 2nd Gen CD-r > Wav > fooked it to mp3 so you can hear what crap sounds like > you

This is truely childish posting this, and what makes it sad is that the people who are making an effort to improve quality here are being treated like the bad guys.
People bitch and complain about FLAC files being too big or taking too long to DL or they don't know how to convert. Instead of polluting QZ with nonsense complaints and fighting,use the time to to DL FLAC and convert for private use. It's as simple as that. If you don't know how to do it, then learn.
I just don't get it. Bob I don't blame you for not wanting to post new shows here. Or anyone else.

Yeah... I know for a fact it's a game, because there are only 3 peers on this torrent, and 21 peers on the FLAC torrent.
It says "A++" on the mp3 version, but not on the FLAC one, as some kind of a last gasp to get people's attention. How pathetic.
This needs to end. It's stupid, and it's childish.

I only have 5 peers at the moment, so you are vitually, certainly right. I have no idea who did it. I would not worry about it. I doubt that anyone was fooled by the high number of downloads (even before your post).
I went to bed at midnight with no one having downloaded the mp3 torrent, and I was worried that no one would download the mp3 torrent. I woke up early this morning (my son has a 20 mile Boy Scouts hike) to see over 60 downloads of the mp3 torrent, but only 50 downloads of the flac torrent. Obviously, someone stuffed the mp3 ballot box.
I suspect that there are several people that can not download this mp3 concert, because the mediafire and megaupload links have been discontinued. Pity.
Bob, perhaps you can use your influence and help discourage this disturbing practice, and I can re-upload the mp3 concert to mediafire or megaupload for those who want it mp3, but can not use torrents.
Finally, the small risk of receiving a mp3 recording that was converted to wav or flac (whether intentional or accidental) can be completely eliminated, if all traders, flac uploaders, and flac downloaders would religiously use a SPECTRAL ANAYZER (it only takes a few minutes).

I have use the A++ rating for years for my own personal use to distiguish between VG+ or better concerts versus those concerts that have VG or worse sound.
I have used this rating system in the hub, and the vast majority of the my hub uploads had my A++ rating, while the other lower rated concerts were usually not uploaded by hub users.
It is ironic how so many flac users download VG or worse concerts, but profess that they really care about quality.

You're right, but why should people have to trade in fear? Wouldn't it be great if this became a trusting community, where it was inherently assumed that a recording you're going to receive is lossless? Any Pink Floyd collector knows their CDs are lossless.
Thanks for your post and your efforts to come to a peaceful resolution. But in the end, the only way to completely solve this problem is for every user to understand that lossless audio is better. The best way to enforce that is for the sharing of lossy audio to stop (either by a ban, or the community coming together to stop it themselves).
When that happens, people who want mp3 will be forced to wonder why they're no longer being shared, and they'll either have to research into it, or seek their music elsewhere. I'm flattered that you think I have an influence over people, but everyone here is able to think for themselves. It's all a matter of *when* people believe the time is right to do so.

Not at all. Take an excellent-sounding recording and convert it to mp3 a few times (like that sample of Munich 78 I made a few days back). Soon it'll sound bad enough that it'll qualify as VG or so in its own way.
Lossy and lossless audio are not equivalent to good and poor recordings. It's about maintaining what is there, regardless if it's great or not.

Fear? You're joking right? Did you lose a limb when I shared your Cologne 79 in mp3?
If you are so afraid of receiving mp3 sourced recordings in a trade, why don't you insist on receiving an e-mailed wav sample before you agree to a trade?
Better yet, if the trader that you are dealing with is unknown to you, an established, respected trader, can tell the newbee trader up front that he will not mail his portion of the deal until the newbee's package has been delivered and evaluated to be what was promised.
There will always be bad traders. You can not eliminate bad traders by banning mp3.
You CAN, however, be virtually certain that what you trade, and what you receive in trade by taking a few minutes and religiously use a spectral analyzer.
Similarly, you can not ban or lock up every HIV positive person to prevent him or her from unprotected having sex with other people.
However, the proper use of condoms will be virtually certain to prevent the transmission of HIV to you.
Ultimately one can only control one's own actions. You can not control the actions of others with bans, jail time, or executions.
If one could truly contol the actions of others there would be zero crime (no illicit selling of drugs, no murders, no robberies, etc. etc).

As for receiving mp3 recordings with worse than usual sound ...
I have been able to obtain almost all decent concerts available for download in reasonable quality, with the exception of 82-04-16 Zurich.

Generally, you're right, but banning mp3 certainly wouldn't hurt. Like I said, people who think mp3 is equally good would wonder why mp3s are banned, and ultimately, there would be fewer people passing off mp3 as lossless.
I admire your efforts, but you're still wrong. In fact, your attitude is incredibly arrogant, because you are continuing to challenge the way EVERY other decent trading community does their business, and continue to insist that your ways are better than theirs.
Honestly, do you think the Zeppelin, Rush, Genesis, and Floyd communities would have so many new recordings each year if the new sources and upgrades were shared lossy?
The answer is obviously no. They all know the answer is no, and that's why the tapers are happy to share their recordings - because they know the quality will be preserved.
As for the Cologne 79 compilation, which you shared as mp3, you not only insulted my efforts (taking years to find all the sources, and weeks to compile them and clean up every bit of the recording), but you also insulted the tapers. They took the risks by bringing recording gear and blank tapes into the venues, and they are the only reason why we have so much knowledge about Queen as a live band. As a thank you for their efforts, their recordings should remain in the best quality possible. The "needs" of people who want small and convenient mp3 files should not be greater than the need to show respect for the tapers, whoever and wherever these great people are.

All you pro-mp3ers, how many of the above recordings do you have? In all probability, you wouldn't have any of them if it weren't for me. I'm the one who either found the tapers themselves (or in some cases, they found me) or low generation copies, and circulated them in one way or another. Many other people (here and elsewhere) have done as much and more. I could easily speak highly of many other people who have spent virtually immeasurable time making the contacts, finding the recordings, in some cases transferring the recordings, creating compilations when need be, and finally spreading them.
If it weren't for people like us, your collections would consist of official releases, and a few silvers and bootleg LPs, if you were ambitious enough. All you have to do is point and click, and you have the nerve to want to r

Nope, new Queen recordings ARE NOT going to surface for the simple fact that the quality in the Queen trading community is so low.
I have two brand spankin' new uncirculated Lamb (Genesis) soundboards coming in, I will be sharing them at http://torrent.genesis-movement.org/ and I can rest easy knowing they won't be converted to lossy crap, while if it was a queen recording, I wouldn't be so certain.

London 9-18-76 (uncut audience recording)
New York 2-5-77 (I complained about an mp3 share of Boston 82, and the taper showed up in the topic, where he said he taped 5 shows. Had someone not opened their mouth, we wouldn't have found five master copies of shows. I only highlight this NY show because it's a bit longer than the previous copies)
Uniondale 2-6-77 (master DVD)
London 10-6-77 (compilation)
Philadelphia 11-23-77 (second generation)
New York 12-1-77 (alternate source and compilation)

Cologne 2-1-79 (two sources, compilation)
Frankfurt 2-2-79 (lowest generation)

Don't forget Hartford 80, or the Montreal 77 8MM film. Perhaps a new "Sir GH Appreciation" thread should be started...
I read somewhere that I called him arrogant once...but I can't remember where I read that...

Nope, new Queen recordings ARE NOT going to surface for the simple fact that the quality in the Queen trading community is so low.
I have two brand spankin' new uncirculated Lamb (Genesis) soundboards coming in, I will be sharing them at http://torrent.genesis-movement.org/ and I can rest easy knowing they won't be converted to lossy crap, while if it was a queen recording, I wouldn't be so certain.

They took the risks by bringing recording gear and blank tapes into the venues, and they are the only reason why we have so much knowledge about Queen as a live band. As a thank you for their efforts, their recordings should remain in the best quality possible. The "needs" of people who want small and convenient mp3 files should not be greater than the need to show respect for the tapers, whoever and wherever these great people are.

Not before you start Harry, Riku, Martin, Rob, and MikeT threads!
And I won't take credit for Hartford... that's Rob's master. Montreal? Ok... I forgot about the synch! I was more interested in the general vibe of the post, so I might've forgotten a couple others too.

If you get all upset and lose your sleep at night about something like this, what do you say about Darfur, what do you say about children dying every 3 seconds. What do you say about mentally disabled children in Serbian hospitals living like animals? What do you say about TV shows like "Is my bum looking big"?
You seriously should chill out and put things into perspective. Hence all the postings of links I've done in the request forum. It's just not important enough when you look at all the crap going on in the world. And I remember when I started getting into Queen, it was awesome to hear a song I thought I would never hear because it was out of print. However, a little compassion and kindness would be a lot more appropriate in life than getting a heart attack about a lossy file.
And there you have it...
