Help Me get situated
I want the ability to up some shows and I've never done it before. My first attempt has seemed to fail. see http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ighlight=omaha
What can I do to get myself up and running to share? I have a couple things that don't circulate that I think this site - a site I have found wonderous things on - may appreciate. Please help me out. I am most accessible at jadieckhaus at gmail dot com Thank you all for your efforts as sharers and sharees. Joe No members have liked this post.

Re: Help Me get situated
Hey Joey, you did a lot of stuff just fine on that torrent/seed. It looks like you figured out how to connect to your own torrent, which seems to be one of the more confusing things for newbies.
One thing I did notice which I brought up in the thread is that you should generate and post shntool md5s with your shows instead of just regular, standard md5s. The difference is that shntool md5s make a fingerprint of the audio part of the file and disregard the rest. Since it is just the audio being fingerprinted, then the 32-digit number that is the fingerprint will stay the same no matter what format the file is in - shn, wav, flac, aif, etc. So, no matter what sort of conversion someone does on the file, as long as it is a lossless conversion, that fingerprint will remain the same. Flac fingerprints do the same thing - thus a flac fingerprint of a flac file and an shntool md5 of a flac file are the same. This is from the pop-up on the upload page: Quote:
You listed known flaws which I think is great information and saves people from saying "does anyone else hear xxxx in the middle of track y?"

Re: Help Me get situated
Okay, I'm not sure if this is making it any more clear for me. Since I never converted the file from .shn to wave what does the cdx matter? This is coming right back off my HD.
Following 5's advice I get the same info I posted about the md5s after you asked me switch it up the first time. Hmmmm....not sure what the deal is. Maybe the folk that asked for it in the first place just never linked up b/c I'm having no problem downloading the show from another computer in my house. Anyway, I'll try another one and see how that one goes. Thanks everyone! No members have liked this post.

Re: Help Me get situated
you have to switch it from 'md5' mode to 'st5' mode... I believe its 'md5 fp' in the dropdown box there. its really easy, you should be able to find it following the step by step pictures in the tutorial I linked. pls let me know
