"From the original silver cd." I have seen in the forums that some ask what this means. The responses to the question were OK, but missed a key element: the removal of doubt for the downloader.

"From the orginal silver cd" means that I am making FLACs from the the actual bootleg, not from a CD-R copy. It means that I have the actual real thing in my hot little fists. Of course, since we are talking digital here, an 199-gen digital copy SHOULD be the same as a 1-gen copy. That being said, if I screw up my ripping, then this first gen copy is junk.

All things being equal, is a first generation copy is "better" than a, say, 23rd generation copy? In THEORY, again since we're talking digital here, both copies SHOULD be the same. In real life, however, let's get real. The closest one gets to the actual source material (assuming the ripper uses standard practices when ripping) then a first generation copy is "better" in that it removes any doubt someone may have regarding the quality of the rip. For a 99th-gen copy, who knows what converting may have happened along the line or who has a bad hard drive sector or who has a incomplete copy or who had a bad CD-R or who had what happen to their copy on it's way to you, Dear Listener.

I've got a nice stack of CD-R's received in trade from people swore up and down that they knew what they were doing. Many of them have 2-seconds gaps between songs, some have pops all along the way, and some are barely adequate to use as coasters. All "first generation" mind you, and all are crap. Some 27 generation copies are probably fine it's true, but I'll wait for a "From the silver" rip, thank you. I know what I'm getting then.
