I believe that each torrent uploaded should be required to have a sample. I say this because I think that those who choose to download should have some clue as to the quality they are getting. In most cases the denotation of SBD, FM, or Pre-FM gives one a good indication of what they might expect. With AUD tapes this varies greatly.

I do appreciate the effort that folks put forth to upload a torrent. When the quality is such that many would believe it only of historical value those who wnt quality and not history are left in the dark.

I value my ratio and dislike seeing it decrease due to shows of poor sound quality that also look interesting/desirable. Of course I could just avoid all AUD recordings but there are many that are quite good .

Your thoughts ?
