Someone recently said he/she had never seen any West, Bruce & Lang boots before the one posted here yesterday or today. I've got one that I got from the Pink Robert site, but all I know about it (from the info file) is listed below. The artwork suggests it was probably originally a silver CD. Is this an acceptable lineage, and if not, do you have any suggestions.

Lineage: sbd > Silver CD > ?? > flac (Pink Robert site)


WEST, BRUCE & LAING
More Live & Kickin'

Live outtakes from the projected Live & Kickin' double album,
plus backing tracks from the Why Dotcha album.

Excellent stereo soundboard

1. Play With Fire (21:38)
2. Sunshine Of Your Love (12:57)
3. Shake Ma Thing (3:09)
4. unknown song (2:50)
5. Polution Woman (3:40)

tracks 1-2: live, unknown location, 1973
tracks 3-5: backing tracks, 1972

Leslie West - guitar, Jack Bruce - bass, Corky Laing - drums

Hey Diz,

You should probably sent a PM to the Video Torrent Mods:

I think they will be able to help you with making sure all the Video requirements are taken care of when you write up the text file.

Are we to assume that all bootlegs with or without a company name are all produced as Silvers?

Hmm, well, no. There are some recent bootlegs that are simply CD-Rs. There is a name for that, and it escapes me at the moment. But, they are simply mass made as CD-Rs, but come with artwork and a booklet.

I believe "weaselly crap" may be the words you're looking for. :)

The CD-R bootlegs started back in the 1990s. There are evn a few CD-R only "labels." Can't hink of any by name at the moment, but I remember at least one used to run big ads in the back of Goldmine.

I have a John Lennon bootleg and the publisher is Green Grape, how do I know if it was produced as a Silver? Is there some list that the mods use to decide? or a place to confirm lineage? www.bootlegzone offers only the tracks and the cover.

Thanks, Paul

No, I wish we had some super-duper bootleg file that would answer all our questions. Unfortunately, we just have to use our awesome Google skills. :cool: However, my googling led me to this site (http://misitio.fibertel.com.ar/estebanfbootlegs/Product23784.shtml) where they list the Green Grape show as coming from a "bootleg CD" as compared to other shows coming from Silver CD. My mad google skills are letting me down here cuz I'm not getting any good hits when googling this - green grapes seems to be a term associated more with wine than with bootlegs! Anyway, if you have something that has artwork but is a CD, it could very well be a Bootleg CD (funnily enough, that was the term eluding me this morning, not "weaselly crap" :) ).

Hi,
I downloaded a show years and years ago, and was thinking about sharing it here, but I have a few problems with the linage.

I know it's from an FM broadcast, and I've looked at all the other people who have the show as well on etree, and none of them can give an exact linage. I never received it on CDR but it must have been at some point.
Sooo I came up with this:
FM SBD > CDR(x) > Unknown transfer > flac

will it do, or should I just keep the boot to myself ?

I have of course checked the quality and there is no diginoise or gaps on the tracks..

thanks :)

For older shows that is perfectly acceptable lineage especially since you did some homework and looked around. Go for it! :thumbsup

I suspect that you did not download the torrent file from the thread and thus you were trying to seed with a non-personalized torrent file and getting a tracker error.

(You really should start a thread for problems since this thread is aimed towards lineage issues for seeders. Also, your torrent threads were pulled, which will also give a tracker error. You really need to read over our Audio Seeding Policy and make sure your seeds conform to the rules we have set up.)

Hi!

There is a dead torrent: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=36090&highlight=Dire+Straits+cologne

Somebody ask for a reseed (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70977)

I got that show as well, but it looks like I got this from a different source (I dunno where I downloaded it).

The infofile I got is not that good:

DIRE STRAITS

ROCKPALAST 1979

[...]tracklist[...]

Studio-L. Cologne, Germany, 16th February 1979.

Additional comments:
This soundboard recording has absolute amazing sound!

Original Bootleg
EAC to WAVE, to FLAC, to U.


Is it still ok if I upload it because I dont have any information about "original bootleg"?

U2Lynne
2009-03-17, 09:49 PM
It looks to me like it is a different source, so it isn't exactly the same as the original which is why the source information is not as complete. You can probably do a google search to see if you can find out more information on the original bootleg that your files are from.

I already did. I found more than one tracklist for bootlegs with the same name as mine, but no tracklist fits. The only thing which really fits (by the setlist) is a video. Maybe it is better to ask a real dire straits pro to upload the best version ;)

not sure if this is the right thread for this question...
i've searched the FAQ and wasn't able to come up w/ a solution to my dilemma.

after attempting this a.m. to get back on some shows i've uploaded for seeding purposes, my Bit Torrent client is showing my status at 0% and begins DL'ing two of the shows all over again as if i don't already have them:

http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70331
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70693


yet this one reloaded and is seeding just fine:
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70597

i've done nothing to alter any of these shows' particular folders though i have deleted other files/folders within the master folder where i keep all the music on my harddrive (hope that makes sense), not sure if that makes a difference.

this is also occurring for shows that i've previously DL'd but had been seeding for the past couple of weeks... haven't relocated any of the folders in question.

sorry if this is a redundant topic, couldn't find anything specific to this matter... thanks so much.

I have a dvd with the lineage:

Am I correct in assuming that I can't seed it here due to the .avi.

I don't see that format listed in the FAQ.

Is this not acceptable due to the Cass even though there is no master>dat in out there?

Just trying to pull up out of uberleech now that I've portforwarded and I remembering back when I had a show pulled even though it had a shin id from etree and was and was the best available copy out there.

What was the master (cassette/reels or DAT, analog versus digital)?

You'll need any generational info possible for the cassette/DAT/CDR stages.

While there is no explicit rule concerning digital > analog > digital, obviously that would best be avoided if possible. If the master was DAT, transferred to a cassette copy, then transferred again to DAT and then to CDR...well, that's not preferable, but there are many shows that have no closer source digitally.

As long as you haven't changed the format (PAL to NTSC, NTSC to PAL), that is seedable and the preferred capture/encoding method for VHS/Hi8/MiniDV.

plumb
2009-04-18, 02:29 AM
The audio show in question's master is from '73 so it's analog for sure. I don't know about the format though (reel size, speed or whatever). I'm a'gonna upload it since it's a great show with great sound and it seems to meet the standard. Thanks for the clarification on both counts.

If a show is listed on dbetree (with lineage, setlists etc), does that automatically means that show meets the TTD requirements for uploading.

e.g. Lineage: FM (2005 rebroadcast) => Hifi VCR => PC => CD Wave (track splits) => flac level 6 (TLH) will do?

Hi there...

I have a lineage question about the following SBD I received in trade in FLAC format:

-------------------------------------------
Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana & Steve Lukather
Venue: Prince Hotel, Karuizawa, Japan
Date: 1 Jun 1986
Taper: Unknown
Source: Soundboard
Lineage: ProDVD > unknown audio transfer to CD > EAC > FLAC Level 8 > you
Sound Quality: A-/A

Disc 1
1 Primera Invasion
2 Black Magic Woman
3 Open Invitation
4 Starcycle
5 Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers
6 Wild Thing
7 Freeway Jam
8 Going Down
9 Escape

Disc 2
1 Superboogie
2 Lotus Blues
3 People Get Ready
4 Johnny B. Goode
5 Love Will
6 Ambitious
7 Goodbye Pork-Pie-Hat
8 Stop, Look And Listen
9 Blue Wind

Steve Lukather - Guitars
Carlos Santana - Guitars
Jeff Beck - Guitars
Beck's band:

Chester Thompson - Keyboards
Armando Peraza - Congas
Orestes Vilato - Timbales
Tom Coster - Keyboards
Graham Lear - Drums
Paul Rekow - Percussion
---------------------------

I noticed there is a ProDVD torrent (not seeded) here at TTD, but it is only partial whereas this audio source is the complete show.

The only mysterious part of the lineage is how the audio was extracted from prodvd.

Is this an acceptable SBD audio upload?

thanks,

Not necessarily, no. For instance, someone could like a Minidisc recording over there from 2008 and it wouldn't be allowed here. They could list a Silver CD > CDR > whatever show and it wouldn't be allowed.

The one you listed looks like it should be fine.

ProDVD as in off the TV? It really depends on the audio from the DVD. If the audio was AC3, which is lossy, then no. If the audio was LPCM, and it wasn't a commericially released DVD, then it should be OK.

I'm pretty sure it was taken from a TV broadcast. Unfortunately I do not know if it was AC3 or LPCM.

Here's a spectral analysis....

To me, the non-expert on lossy/lossless? It looks just fine. :D However, I do know that when looking at SA, it is best to grab a 2 second capture to look at it and see if it's blocky. You may want to do an FA also.

I've got a show here with an incomplete or inaccurate setlist. The orginal taper and seeder I got it from didn't know all the 17 songs. He didn't know 4 songs (but I do or think I do) and named some others a bit different. Now I've read your faq and it says:

Any items missing this information may be deleted from our tracker.

How can I prevent my upload from being pulled for this reason. Is it just as simple as to give the correct setlist in the thread and in my info file, while leaving the rest of the original files unchanged of course.

U2Lynne
2009-04-21, 11:04 AM
That line is referring to if you omit the text file. Having an incomplete setlist is OK. I usually see users list it like:

1 (unknown)
2 Elevation
3 (unknown)

Or just put a blank. Putting up a setlist like that usually encourages the users to fill in the blanks and hopefully put together a setlist for you.

rspencer
2009-04-21, 04:21 PM
If you can supply the missing songs, do so. Edit the text file, but "save as" revised-info.txt or such. That way you keep all the original files, but also supply the new additional info.

It's official. They sell their board recordings, so it's have to be. Nobody else allowed to punch into the board. It's at livephish.com.

the 10-30-96 show has a total runtime of 37:11

the 10-31-96 show has a total runtime of 39:11

I don't want to assume anything about the audio itself, so if you know of an easy way to find out if they are mono or stereo, I am all ears. I have looked for a gspot style informational tool for audio, but I came up empty handed. I use WMP for my flac files, but it doesn't give me any information other than track times.

That's reasonable for those running times. That's about your average opener set length, and most of the openers I've taped have been a bit over 200MB (210-245 or so).

OK another little help required on correct lineage. I have a flac copy of the Genesis Zurich 77 show considered to be the best 77 show according to the Genesis Movement. Been looking for it for a while and found it on a bootleg site. It's downloaded and ready to go but the lineage just says
CD-R>EAC>FLAC.
It's Zurich Revisited version 2 with a soundboard/audience mix that has extra tracks after The Musical Box closing number. They are taken from other shows earlier on in the tour that weren't played at Zurich. It's definitely the one to have from 77 but I was just being carefull about posting it.

That is a pretty old show, so we are a little bit more lenient on lineage for them. If you have done a search and can't find a better source for this show (one with a defined source that is earlier gen), then it is OK to post it.

You are currently the only seeder on this show - Disturbed 2009-05-06 Peoria, IL (NTSC) (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=74171) - so I'm not sure what you mean.

I have a lineage question. I pm'd a mod but haven't heard a reply yet. Forgive me for the duplication.

Regarding a 4 disc set of Gillian Welch early material, I posted a question in the lossy/not lossy thread here:http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=79940

It appears to be OK to torrent yet I have no known lineage other than I grabbed it from another site as FLACs. A friend sent me a link to some artwork which yielded a bit of info on the 4th disc, saying it was a handheld walkman recorder for that show.

How may I properly torrent this set of music which I believe will be happily received by the legions of fans here? It is thanks to one member getting me into that particular site that I was able to find this gem, and I'd like to pay it forward/back by sharing the fileset here first, then taking it to another popular site.

Thanks for reading!
Dave

Oops! Just got a reply from Mod JamesKG... says it's a no-go. Would it be OK to just seed the 4th disc with the limited info I do have, and a "caveat emptor" along with it?

Sorry for any trouble and thanks again. If it's still no good, I'll just put up some of my other masters to say thanks. Just trying to spread the love of Gil...

Hi I'm relatively new here and I want to start sharing my own shows,most that were acquired through snail trade,and are pre 2000.How would I go about noting the lineage for these if it's unavailable.If it's a pro shot that obviously been taped off the telly and then transferred to PC would it go something like this
Proshot>?>VHS> digital transfer to DVD
If Aud shot
Audshot>?>digital transfer to DVD
Obviously I'd be including all the bitrate,FPS,format etc but am I on the right track.If not what else do I need.
I always find this lineage thing a bit overwelming

You don't 'rip' them to your HD like you do an audio CD. You simply create a folder on your Mac for the show and then drag/drop the VIDEO_TS folder into it and it should copy over. Create an EXTRAS_TS folder in there also to put all the info files and md5 files, etc.

As for lineage, sometimes you can get more by googling and finding the show on other lists. Or, just by asking around. You may want to read our DVD Seeding Policy and Video Seeding Guide for more information.

One other question, I downloaded a dvd a while back, the only source info that came with it was -
Skystar2>HDD>Womble MPEG Wizard>TMPGEnc DVD Author

I burned this DVD a while back, and just copied the files back to a new folder on my HD. I'm thinking the lineage would be something like this -
TV Broadcast > Skystar2 > HDD > Womble MPEG Wizard > TMPGEnc DVD Author > DVD > HD

Hi. I've got this authored (nerovision) trade dvd I would like to share, but this dvd (menu?) has some issues.

* According to GSpot the aspect ratio is 4:3 (LB), but when I put the dvd in my standalone player or play it on my pc with VLC, it is been displayed as 16:9. The result is that the picture is pressed together and a bit stretched out (wrong ratio). When I play it with VLC and change the aspect ratio from standard to 4:3 it is been displayed in the correct ratio, but when there is a song change (chapter points) it switches back to a 16:9.
* Video and audio are slightly out of sync.

My question is, if I give this dvd a new menu (with the correct ratio) and sync video and audio, will I still be able the seed it here, or would this be considered as re-encoding?

The question of whether the band was justly compensated is, sadly, inconsequential. We can't allow the many Parliament/Funkadelic releases from the '70s just because Westbound ripped off George & the guys.

From what I've found, this show has been released a number of times, under various titles by various labels. That can happen to bootlegs of course, but happens to legit older releases too, especially those on minor labels.

I don't see how we can blanket negate all of the releases, nor do I see how we can possibly check the "legitimacy" of every version.

So I'd say putting it up here would be a no-go. But I'm reporting the post to get opinions from the other mods.

You have a couple files that no longer match the .torrent file you uploaded.

Based on your situation, my guess is that your text file was changed after you made the .torrent file. The Track 18 problem is likely happening because part of that data piece included the txt file, so it cannot complete, either.


The only way to fix something like this is to re-make your .torrent, then upload without changing anything else.

The current .torrent post cannot be fixed, so I have pulled it so you can re-upload when you are able.

And no the missing tracks are not officially released. I can only figure they were left off the original because of time constraints. I have checked with spectrum analysis also.

Hi folks, I have a EAC-extracted copy of a silver (complete with logs, cues etc), but it is one big FLAC file (one track instead of the 8 tracks as on the silver). What is the right way to split this file into the original 8 tracks (and be able to upload it here)? Do I use audacity (or a similar program like that), split the file into the 8 tracks, TLH>FLAC (SB's etc).

The final lineage would be:
Silver>EAC>WAV>FLAC>WAV>Audacity(split tracks)>WAV>FLAC

Audacity will do it. CDWave, Sound Forge, etc.
And, as you noted, make sure you check to align on sector boundaries when you re-FLAC.

Splitting it isn't absolutely required, but obviously it would be preferred.

I am a new member here with firewall issues. I have done everything to correct the problem, but nothing works. I have learned from my experience on another tracker that I am one of those whose firewall issues can not be corrected.

I plan to start by uploading a few of my masters to bring my ratio up before I download anything. My first attempt today brought 2 error messages:

1. No torrent file attached. I have tried to attach the torrent file using the "Manage Attachments" button, but it still tells me no torrent file attached.

2. No fingerprints included. I have an .ffp file, but I don't know how to add fingerprints.

Am I even close to doing this correctly? Is there a step-by-step guide to walk me through this?

Thanks for listening.

Many thanks for this thread. My question: I have a direct rip (done with EAC) of a silver-disc bootleg. The artwork of the silver disc says it is straight from the master tape. This kind of claim on the artwork of a silver-CD bootleg may of course simply be wrong; on the other hand, in this case may well be true since the great sound of the recording indicates no generational quality loss. Moreover, even if the claim is true and thus the source of the silver was the master tape, we do not know what kind of mastering/compression/whatever procedures they applied to it.
Now, putting up that show, which lineage shall I give? I can think of at least three different options:
AUD > ? > Silver CD > EAC > WAV > FLAC
AUD > master tape > Silver CD > EAC > WAV > FLAC
AUD > master tape> unknown edits/mastering etc.? > Silver CD > EAC > WAV > FLAC
Which would be best, or maybe there's another, better option? Please let me know what you think.
(I already uploaded two such shows and chose the first option above, but I think that the master-tape claim on the artwork, especially if the name of the taper is mentioned there too, might be valuable information for downloaders and thus be mentioned in the lineage.)

U2Lynne
2015-05-26, 09:55 AM
Any of those would be fine. I would probably put an * next to the second step and then just explain that "* according to the artwork, which may or may not be true, this is from the Master Tape". Something like that.

Some sets have no Silver pressings, 4DF, FBG or DFB fan made for fans. Some are more commercial.
This stuff was recorded when i was running around in nappies. :)

AUD > ? > CDr > EAC > WAV > FLAC

Example of a small set, another 4DF contains like 90 cd's.

Hello, would appreciate advice. Hope this is appropriate venue?

Have had recent feedback from a member about torrent (gd, 1977-11-04, Colgate, flac). He notes 3SBD sources on etree for this show, probably same source. He regrets he gave me an ID to #2595 based on track times. "This is almost certainly not an endorsement"

He commented again today. Doesn't want to see the pool contaminated with bad dl's, a better site for these files. I replied - mistake. Tried to leave out contentious parts but my reply isn't posted - probably I failed and was just right out of line. Any advice other than to keep my mouth shut? Rod

Hi! :)
I posted something (Satchmo) and I followed the directions, or so I think, but it isn't starting. I am listed as a peer and no one else is in as anything.
I don't know what details to give.
I was really excited about seeding my own first torrent.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks a bunch,
Toffel

If I have a lineage of:


DSM-6->DAT->optical cable->Phillips standalone burner->CD-R->aiff->Audacity->WAV->SWITCH->FLAC

Can those FLAC files be posted here when the CD-R files were not ripped with Xact?

I have a show I received by download. It came with no lineage information. However, I have done extensive examination and research and believe this would be a good torrent. Here is how I addressed the lineage problem:
FLAC Download ->
There were no sector boundary errors
all tracks looks like CDDA
Listened to all tracks several times; decompressed to wav and loaded into Wavelab; Based on my extensive experience with damaged and poorly
ripped audio, I am confident these tracks were ripped properly; there are no gaps or clicking. This show has never been seeded and would make
a valuable addition to any Bruce Springsteen collection.

the info file contains extensive first hand information on the audio tracks by me.

This show has never been seeded

Kind of a disconnect there.

Take it to DIME, they love no lineage stuff.

I uploaded a transport stream digital video file today [SLF and U2] without reading the site rules correctly.
I assumed that the rules were about achieving the highest quality uploads?

Converting these type of digital files to DVD only lessens the quality of such.

... probably close to 10 years since I've DL'd/seeded anything from TTD.

I have a question:

-I have some shows I'd like to seed, some of which I see here as Active; but the computer I originally used to DL everything is no longer operable--is there a way to re-Seed (is that even a word?) them even though the original DL location/path no longer exists? (most of what I have is located on CDR, some on USB).

Please and thank you!

is there a way to re-Seed

i meant, is there a way to re-seed an existing Torrent without re-posting it. I don't articulate well, sorry. :rolleyes:

Assuming you have the original fileset unaltered, including the top-level folder;

Copy the whole fileset to a location on computer
Set this location in your torrent client

Go to the active torrent, and download the torrent file.
Open the torrent file in your client, and the client should check that all you have is the same as what would be downloaded, and once it sees all is there, it will seed it from your drive.

If I've missed a crucial step, anyone please correct me

Each torrent has a list of files, and file sizes on the front page. You can check these against what you have stored as a first step, to make sure they match

Hi! Im double checking this is ok. Show is from 1997. I didn't see what ripped the CD. It all sounded ok/ no errors.

AUD -> Core Sound Binaural Mics -> Sony TCD-D8 -> DAT > CDR > EAC > FLAC

Thanks!

I made a post in the Staff forum and asked the Moderators to not delete these purely because of lineage issues, to send the links to me so I can listen before a decision is made. If it sounds good, it'll be allowed.

If anyone is an Audiophile and/or has Mastering/Remastering experience and can quickly tell a FM/SBD/Matrix from an Audience recording, and can judge the quality of an Audience recording, please PM me if you'd like to become a Moderator. If you have strong objections to there possibly being a bittorrent forum for Lossy recordings here in the future, you may want to skip sending that PM.

That would be a huge mistake, in my opinion, and completely the opposite of what TTD has stood for since day 1.
