Re: Lineage question

Shows seeded at TTD must have lineage.

If you're snailmail trading, you should be receiving lineage just the same... digital sharing is an offshoot from tape trading, not the inverse. Snailmail traders (and all traders) worth their salt will include known lineage of SOME type.


CDR>EAC>FLAC really isn't any lineage at all... just says "hey, I found this stack of CDRs on a spindle and I've ripped them all to share!"


Please take some time and research what you have and see if there is any known lineage version circulating. If there is, yours is trash - because you have no idea if it is the same or not.

Of course.. there are exceptions to every rule. Please do the legwork as well as you can and get permission from a mod before posting something with no known lineage.

thanks for asking
