Re: New Collector Question re Lineage, Burning, Quality Loss, etc

Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to reply. A few things confuse me:

I thought EAC and TLH were two competing programs that did the same thing? But after reading your post, it seems like TLH is used to help make an audio CD and EAC is used to help extract the show from an audio CD to your PC, correct?

If I burned the audio CD correctly (ie good media, TLH, good burner, no errors, etc), is it still necessary to have them archived on a data cd? If I want to trade the show, wouldn't I just make a copy of my audio CD?

Ok, this is very confusing to me. The original source is the equipment that was used to record the first recording of a particular show, correct? And no matter what equipment was used (DAT, mini disc, etc), that very first media that the recording produced is called the master, correct?

Is there a generally accepted preferred way, which is best analog or optical or...?

So if the original source is a DAT recording, and the taper tranfers the show from DAT to a CDR, that CDR is considered the 1st generation CDR, correct? So what, or how would we get to a second generation CDR? If you make a copy of the first gen CDR, lets say using NERO, is that now a second gen CDR?

Thank you again! I know for most these are "duh" questions.
