Listen, I think gremmie sucks. I'm not saying the site needs to get shut down or anything, I just think a site like this could be one much better. I'm not going to do it myself, because I don't have the time or inclination to do it. If you like the site, and don't give a fuck, then by all means use it.
But if those were my tapes that I made, and I saw some dude hosting 160kbs versions of them with my source info left out entirely, I'd be asking asking them to be taken down.

My complaint is it's become "the" source for this type of stuff and it's just poorly done from the standards that I would have for something like this. At the very least I want source info for the recordings. There are so many different recordings it's good to know which one you got so you can compare it when you stumble upon another one. And when you're converting to a lossy format, which I don't think should be done in the first place, especially with live audience recordings, it's a good idea to be upfront with the lineage.
When people used to trade for these things the old fashioned way, it was always made clear among traders that if you convert to mp3 it's for your own personal collection, and not for circulation. Just because the technology changed doesn't mean that becomes less important.
The dot net has grown into a pretty extensive archive for live Pearl Jam and the like. It's my opinion that in the long run, you're doing the community a disservice by being an archive containing 160kbs mp3s with no source or lineage information. It's not hard to do, but it's hard to fix.

Make sure it's at least a terabyte. Then you'll have everything in lossless, with all the proper source information, and you can stop hosting very poor bitrate versions of audience recordings with no credit to the taper.
