Re: Torrent Help Needed Please:
donovana, the only change I would make in the lineage to make it more accurate is:
Lineage CDR(x)--->CDParanoia--->FLAC
CDR(x) mean unknown generation of CDR.
Every file has a unique 'fingerprint'. These are denoted as a 32 digit hexadecimal number (those numbers and letters you noted). After you have burned these files to a CD or moved them to another computer, or basically, done *anything* with your flac/shn files, you can use a program such as Traders' Little Helper to do a 'check' of these files against the fingerprint you have. It will verify that nothing happened to the files when you burned/moved/whatevered them. Also, since these are unique, just by taking a quick look at this fingerprint file, you can tell if you have the same copy of flacs/shns as someone else does.
So, you can take your flac files, put them into Traders' Little Helper and ask it to generate the flac fingerprints for you. It will give you a text file output. You will open it up and copy/paste the contents into the fingerprints box on the Upload page. You may also include this text file in the torrent you make.
I hope that helps a bit more.
