<pre class="nfo">Much has changed in the mp3 "scene" lately, but lets skip the intro and
|
||
|
|
history of the music/mp3scene of the internet. Those of u who have
|
||
|
|
been here since it all started in 1995/96 know that there has been much
|
||
|
|
chaos, and there still is. Any previous attempts (mp3spa)at bringing in
|
||
|
|
some organization and guidelines into the scene have failed. The scene has
|
||
|
|
always worked as every group by it self. That might have worked fine,
|
||
|
|
but we now want to move on and start appreciating other groups
|
||
|
|
releases/rip, and save our own time for ripping more. This means we have
|
||
|
|
to be able to trust each other rips. For this purpose, and nothing else,
|
||
|
|
a council was set up and a name was chosen: RIAA. The participants agreed
|
||
|
|
on some easy to understand rules about how to release music on the internet!
|
||
|
|
This was done by a few big mp3 release groups, but it is the hope of
|
||
|
|
everyone that all groups and independent suppliers will use them as well.
|
||
|
|
We expect top groups like MGC, UBE, NBD, BF, TFA, WLWMP3, MS, IMPG, IDM
|
||
|
|
(and others we forgot) to be joining this council soon!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The program is as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) The scene will benefit from this effort, and we will respect the
|
||
|
|
agreed rules. The council name is RIAA.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) The members are councils of the chosen groups and a few more
|
||
|
|
selected people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) New members of this council can join on Invite / Vote-in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) Rippers/groups must produce .SFV files for crc'ing every release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5) Rippers/groups must produce .NFO files for every release, and the .nfo
|
||
|
|
file must feature at least:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ARTIST NAME - TITLE - GROUP RELEASE DATE - GROUPNAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A release without proper .nfo AND .sfv file is a nuke on all big sites.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6) Files and directories must only contain a-z A-Z 0-9 _ - () and
|
||
|
|
no other characters. Underscores will be used for spaces, and
|
||
|
|
double dots wont be used. i.e ..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7) The length of filenames and directorynames must not exceed 64 chars.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8) Directory names must at minimum include "Artist-Album-GROUPINITIALS"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
9) Filenames must at minimum include "Tracknumber-Songtitle-GROUPINITIALS"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
10) The music format is MP3 until MP4 format is out, and AAC and VFQ
|
||
|
|
are ignored.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
11) The following encoders are banned because of their inability to
|
||
|
|
produce good sounding mp3s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Xing Encoder, BladeEnc, AudioActive Po -lq mode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These encoders are banned at the moment, but it might change soon. Stay
|
||
|
|
tuned...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
***** We Also Agreed That These Changes Will Be In Effect *****

||
|
|
***** No Later Than FEBRUARY 1ST 1999. So Pls Be Ready With *****
