That's debatable. Messages that may be considered off-topic for the etree.org discussion list include: * Anything not related to music or computers * Discussion of lossy audio formats (MP3, Real Audio, etc.) But it also says that posts will screened for intelligent content, so it's really up to the moderator to decide, IMO. Since he seems to be allowing it, I guess it's OK. I think it mentions mp3 as off-topic because we've rehashed this sooooo many times and there really isn't much to say about the topic. Download whatever you want, encode however you want and trade whatever you want. If traders don't like what you have on your list, they can go elsewhere. No one should care what you encode and trade. Why? Because ultimately, it's not up to anyone to decide what you do with your music except you. And if you convert all your shns to mp3 (and by 'you' I mean 'anyone') and back to shn again and trade them as shns, you'll be busted and people won't trade with you. But that's up to the individual. I don't get why so many people are so adamant about telling others what they should do with music.
