This is not a tape/CD request, because I know to use the Resources for Traders site for that.
Why are trees being offered in audio format instead of SHN format? Doesn't that mean that everyone has to do an EAC on the discs to make their copy, thus possibly introducing errors? If everyone got the original shn's and md5's, they could all make identical audio copies, whether they want to make an archive shn copy or not. Even if original shn's aren't available, wouldn't it make sense for the top of the tree to EAC some shn's so at least everyone could get an identical copy?
