thoughts on ripping vinyl

i do rip uinyl but for a few reasons i cannot put it on my blog. that doesn't mean i don't go to other mp3 blogs. i've learned some things from them and i'd like to pass on some words on what you should and shouldn't do when posting mp3s. first please make them of good quality. that means it better sound like it does if i were to put on the vinyl at home. i'm speaking of corse of 7inch punk.com which i don't know why i bother as the site never posts new shit. some of the rips on 7inchpunk aren't bad and i'm glad i've found those mp3s. but some are just horible. like oh i don't know maybe all that shit that he got from a fucking tape. also unless it's a partnership don't just let any old guy post mp3s at least checak if they're good quality and if they're not reject the fucking post. fuck man it's not fucking rocket science. second don't post what you don't physicly own unless it's really fucking rare and you can't find that site anymore or for other good reasons but if it's just to post shit and say it's from your collection well just don't. if you want to post something you don't own for fucks sake tell us where you got it from. and just a little note. i'm not stealing this from erich's final conflict post. these are what i really believe. also another jab at 7inchpunk please don't remove files unless you're going to repost them or some guy asks you too. but if you must remove files please don't mislead people and take down the dead links. let's see what else. oh this is a big one. if you decide to do an mp3 blog please please please look into other options than mediafire or any of that shit. i get it. not everyone is like erich or peter. but what about archive.org? sure the argument can be made well peomle can take your rips from that site and post them on whatever blog they have or whatever. here's a fast solution. title the upload in some obscure thing that noone would guess. for example if i was going to rip and upload the germs album. it would ask me for a title and might put germsgilp. who the fuck is going to find that especially with how anal the search thing is. that's all i can think of. head over to gbm and the final conflict post for a much smarter take on what i said
