Below, you'll find my preferences of how I like to receive audio roio's.
Important: as these are preferences only, these will be very unlikely to be deal breakers. Take these preferences as a reference. ;)
Lineage:
- Lowest gen possible.
- A hi-res transfer of a vintage tape.
Format:
(in listed order)
- Lossless audio files (personally I like flac the best) exactly the way you received them, including ffp and/or md5 files (the latter certainly in case of shn files), an info file (*.nfo for instance, or info.txt) and artwork.
- See 1, but with something missing. I don't really care if the artwork is missing. I care a little bit if the info file is missing (since I'll need to enter all the info myself into my database, instead of just copy/paste). I do care if the ffp or md5 files are missing. Just let me know ahead of time.
- If you have the show in another format than lossless audio, it depends on the format you have. If you have a fantastic recording in a lossy format (like mp3), I might be interested. Sometimes a lossy recording is the only thing available (think of demo recordings made available by a band by putting an mp3 on their website, or an audience recording made with a device that's only capable of recording into some lossy format). If you have a show on audio cd, please rip using EAC in secure mode and preferably using the right offset and then convert to flac (or another lossless format).
