I feel that the idea of a proposed format for the exchange of tapes is
a great idea. Personally I would like to complete my collection of some
of the shows I have wanted but often get frustrated by trying to find
them. This would allow a perfect medium for such a thing. My only suggestion
is to make it a little easier for people to use therefore increasing the
chances that alot of netheads will use it. For example people with alot
of tapes would hesitate to type in every song (maybe I'm wrong??). 
Anyway most of us have either copied off the net or still have 
the setlists from 75 on, this could be redistributed to those who want it.
I think that I could probably decide whether or not I would like to trade
a tape based on the show and quality, not neccesarily the songlist and
what generation of tape it is. I may be in the minority since I know that
generation is an important quality for some deadheads, but I've had first
generation tapes that are not as good quality as some tapes I don't
know what generation they are. This is more a function of the equipment
used, that's why I think that a quality rating would suffice.
I'd be interested in seeing if there is interest in the proposed system,
and comments on how detailed or simple it should be.
