Re: Reseeding question
Thanks dorrcoq!
I did re-look at the FAQ and finally found the concerned section,
under "Audio BitTorrent Seeding Policy", part 5.
"On the same token, once a show has been ripped to lossless media format, burning to a CD and then re-extracting is an extraneous step that often-times results in errors. FLAC, APE, or SHN sets that circulate may not be burned to audio CD and then re-traded or re-seeded. In otherwords, nothing like flac > CDR > (extraction method > wav >) flac. Please archive and trade only the original lossless files or acoustically identical alternate formats (verify this with st5s - see the Checksum Types FAQ). CDR generations are bad for the trading pool, and unless all versions of the bootleg circulate only on CDR, it will not be permitted here."
Thank goodness, the "reseed" I was suspicious of is indeed no good, and this all hasn't been an exercise in futility.
