Well, fingerprints are very easy to make, so that is no problem. As for the lineage, you actually always have some lineage. You got a CDR? So, you could say it is: unknown equipment & transfer > CDR(x) (x meaning unknown generation)> EAC (what should always be used to extract on a PC - xACT if you have a mac) > wav > TLH (Traders Little Helper is recommended, but there are others) > flac . But, what you really should do before seeding something with such unknown lineage is to look around and see if there is a version out there that the taper put directly to flac. If there is, then please don't share your version with all the 'unknown' in there. If you can't find a version shared that has known lineage, then what I wrote is acceptable.
