Re: mp3 rarities




From: Paul Soupiset Subject: Re: mp3 rarities


Chad, I've never done a vine before, let alone a tree or whatever, but I'm interested in getting the tunes as MP3s, and happy to do a little work to help others in the same boat. Is there an FAQ as far as explaining the deal to newbies?


A vine is just a list of people who copy discs created by the vine's originator for their own use and then mail the originals to the next person in line. It's a great way to share music, and I've started quite a few of my own. There are several OtR shows in circulation as vines right now on Drew's OtR board. This link explains how vines are implemented on the Cowboy Junkies message board and the OtR forum:

In *this* particular case, the music would be mp3 rather than CD audio format. Thus you would not need an audio extraction program or even a CD burner to participate in the Rarities vine, but could simply copy the .mp3 files to your computer from the original CD-ROM and then pass it on.

It will be more difficult signing up for and tracking a vine using an email list vs. a message board, but I suppose that with diligence and grace all things are possible.

Many thanks for your efforts Chad, being an OtR newbie I only have a few of these rarities myself.

Keith from NY
