I'll just burn those 2 cd and trade them that way. is that cool??
*sigh* Listen, I don't deal with audio-compression since yesterday, my friend.

Is it cool to trade burned CD-copies for spreading lossless versions of
'MACHINA II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music' ? NO

Why it ain't a good idea to release from a CD copy ?

1. Usually cheap CD's are used -> This means probably you'll get some glitches.

2. Even more, cheap CD's get damaged quickly after some time -> This will end up
in more glitches and also in having background noise.

3. When copying CD's people don't use to extract audio with secure mode (as you
can do with a proper software like EAC) -> This also means that glitches will
appear.

4. Usually a CD is copied On the fly -> This means that is almost sure that you will
get glitches.

5. Generally people tend to burn CD's at very high speed (in fact people usually
use the maximum speed available) -> This can easily end up with lots of glitches.

6.
Release from CD-copies is not allowed because it's not possible to be sure it is a
100% perfect copy. And even though the releaser can be really sure his copy is
as good as the original one, the users with whom he shares it have no way to
know if the copy is really ok or not.

Trust me, releasing from original source using EAC properly configured is the only
option. It ain't difficult:
  • just download the program
  • put the file I would send to you in the appropriate folder
  • load the pre-configured profile you obtained by me so
  • put the CD in it
  • rip it
  • that's it...

Then you would have a perfect 1:1-cd-copy of MACHINA II on your pc.
And also the last step, the sharing, is as easy as winking:
  • just put the file into the sharing folder of a p2p-programm
  • tell someone how you called the file
  • that's it...

Hey, you owe me something for the hint on this auction :P .
And as you see it's not such a big deal, just looked like it ...
