|
|
| INTRODUCTION |
|
|
| After 4 years of enjoying the FLAC scene and with ruleset wording |
|
|
| misinterpretations, it is time to revise and add/update some rules. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| NOTE: The definitions of these keywords are to be interpreted as follows: |
|
|
| MUST=obligatory (release not allowed if rule not followed) |
|
|
| SHOULD=suggested (release allowed if not followed) |
|
|
| CAN+MAY=optional (release allowed if not followed) |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Unless clearly stated in a specific rule or note, capitalization in |
|
|
| this ruleset is considered as informative. |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| GENERAL |
|
|
| 1.1 A release MUST contain an SFV, NFO, and JPG proof. |
|
|
| .1 A release MAY contain other relevant JPG files. |
|
|
| .2 A release MAY contain CUE and LOG files if it is from a CD source. |
|
|
| .3 Valid filetypes are: .cue, .flac, .jpg, .log, .m3u, .nfo and .sfv. |
|
|
| 1.2 Valid media sources are: BLURAY, CD, DVD(A), HDDVD and VINYL. |
|
|
| .1 A release MUST not mix sources. |
|
|
| 1.3 Trackfixes are not allowed, bad quality rips require a complete repack |
|
|
| and MUST include the ADDITIONAL type tag: -REPACK- (rule 4.6). |
|
|
| 1.4 The following are reasons for a bad quality rip: |
|
|
| .1 One or more tracks from the release are incomplete or contain skips. |
|
|
| .2 The tracks are distorted and constantly clipping (eg. vinyl rips). |
|
|
| .3 The tracks contain a constant hiss which was avoidable (eg. vinyl |
|
|
| rips). |
|
|
| .4 Low sound, mono rips (from stereo sources) and other factors easily |
|
|
| heard by the human ear. |
|
|
| 1.5 The maximum directory and filename length is 128 characters. Directories |
|
|
| and filenames MUST only contain valid characters: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ . - () |
|
|
| 1.6 All physical mediums (including mixed CD(s) / e.g. DJ-Mixes) MUST be |
|
|
| ripped as separate tracks according to the TOC (Table Of Contents) |
|
|
| on the medium. The only occasion where the physical medium is released |
|
|
| as one single track is when there is only one track on the medium. |
|
|
| NOTE: Lossless data compression excludes the possibility of the introduction |
|
|
| of padding, all lossless audio file formats are inherently gapless. |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| DUPES |
|
|
| 2.1 A release MUST include all audio tracks. Releasing just the bonus tracks |
|
|
| or some other subset of tracks is not allowed. Similarly, a BONUS DISC |
|
|
| cannot be released by itself, but MUST be released as a complete release.|
|
|
| 2.2 A release MUST not be identical to a previous release, except |
|
|
| ADVANCE/PROMO releases (Rule 7.2). |
|
|
| 2.3 A release is not identical to a previous release if: |
|
|
| .1 The previous version has a different mastering. |
|
|
| .2 The previous version has a different tracklist. |
|
|
| .3 The previous version has a different version of a track. |
|
|
| 2.4 A release MUST not be a collection of discs that have already all been |
|
|
| individually released. For example, releasing a 2CD that combines a |
|
|
| CD and EP after they have both been indivually released is not allowed. |
|
|
| Boxsets of COMPLETE Discographies or REMASTERED Album Series are |
|
|
| excluded from this rule. |
|
|
| 2.5 A release MUST not have all its tracks included in one previous release. |
|
|
| Examples: a CDS cannot be released after a CDM that includes all the |
|
|
| tracks on the CDS. An album cannot be released after a boxset that |
|
|
| includes all the tracks from that same album. A CDM or CDEP cannot be |
|
|
| released after a release has been reissued with all tracks. |
|
|
| 2.6 All sources MUST follow the above dupe rules as well as the following |
|
|
| source specific rules: |
|
|
| .1 BLURAY cannot dupe any other source, except HDDVD. |
|
|
| .2 HDDVD cannot dupe any other source, except BLURAY. |
|
|
| .3 CD cannot dupe any other source, except BLURAY and HDDVD. |
|
|
| .4 DVD cannot dupe any other source. |
|
|
| .5 VINYL cannot dupe any other source. |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

|
|
| then a PROPER (with ALL tracks) or an additional release (extra tracks|
|
|
| only) is not allowed. |
|
|
| .4 The .nfo file MUST contain the following source information: |
|
|
| - Codec (LPCM) |
|
|

|
| (eg: like any regular compilation CD release). |
|
|
| .5 HDDVD/BLURAY releases with multiple files, but all belonging to the |
|
|
| same playlist index MUST be encoded together in the same order as |
|
|
| the playlist index file indicates. |
|
|
| .6 HDDVD/BLURAY releases MUST contain all music tracks. Additional tracks|
|
|
| (clips, interviews etc.) are optional. If those extra tracks are not |

|
|
| (extra tracks only) is NOT allowed. |
|
|
| .7 The .nfo file MUST contain the following source information: |
|
|
| - Codec (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM) |
|
|
| - Bitrate (640kbps, 768kbps, 1536kbps...) |
|

|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| RELEASE NAME |
|
|
| 4.1 The tag -FLAC- MUST be in uppercase in the release name and always |
|
|
| before -YEAR- and -GROUP tags. |
|
|
| 4.2 Release name MUST contain at least: Artist, Title, Source, Year, Group. |
|
|
| .1 ARTIST tag means performer, band, musician. MUST be a unique name. |
|
|
| (ie. no OST in place of artist). |
|
|
| If not possible to identify, the word "Unknown" can be used. |
|
|
| Compilations (eg: Soundtracks, Samplers) with various artists MUST use|
|
|
| the word "VA" at ARTIST field. Various Artists is considered 4 or more|
|
|
| different artists with single songs. |
|
|
| .2 TITLE tag means the title of album. It MUST be a unique name. |
|
|
| (ie. no Self-titled). If not possible to identify, the word "Unknown" |
|
|
| can be used. (Self name artist title MUST not be considered an unknown|
|
|
| title). |
|
|
| 4.3 Using CATALOGUE number in a release name is optional but recommended. |
|
|
| 4.4 Valid SOURCE tags: (Uppercase letters MUST be used) |
|
|
| .1 BLURAY (eg. 2BLURAY, 3BLURAY, etc.) |
|
|
| .2 HDDVD (eg. 2HDDVD, 3HDDVD, etc.) |
|

|
|
| 4.5 TYPE describes the difference in tracks, tracklist or year of this |
|
|
| release compared to another version. Difference in tracks usually is: |
|
|
| length, mixing, mastering, recording, number of channels. Difference in |
|
|
| tracklist usually occurs with specific presses, in different countries, |
|
|
| with different artists or different/more tracks for the same release |
|
|
| title. Different year reports to reissue releases (refer to rule 4.10). |
|
|
| Some releases need to be identified from the normal ones due to their |
|
|
| source nature. (eg: soundtrack compilation, magazine bonus CD, etc). |
|
|
| Therefore valid allowed TYPE tags are: |
|
|
| - Advance, Promo, Retail, Bonus, Mag, Split, OST, Digipak, |
|
|
| - Audiobook, Bootleg, Demo, Sampler, Whitelabel, Reissue, Remastered. |

|
|
| .2 When using EXPLICIT as TYPE it MUST show in the proofpic. |
|
|
| 4.6 Valid ADDITIONAL tags: (Uppercase MUST be used) |
|
|
| - DIRFIX, NFOFIX, READNFO, PROPER, REAL_PROPER, REPACK, REAL_REPACK. |
|
|
| .1 If an ADDITIONAL tag is used, the nfo MUST mention the release name |
|
|
| that it is replacing or updating. |
|
|
| .2 DIRFIX and NFOFIX are exempt from Rule 1.1. |
|
|
| .3 A DIRFIX can only be used to fix parts of the release name that do |
|
|
| not affect Vorbis tag contents. (i.e CATALOGUE and TYPE) |
|
|
| 4.7 LANGUAGE (LANG) MUST follow the ccTLD identifiers (2-chars): |
|
|
| (Capitalized letters MUST be used) |
|
|

|
|
| 4.8 Mandatory release name formats: |
|
|
| - Artist-Title-SOURCE-FLAC-YEAR-GROUP |
|
|
| - Artist-Title-LANG-SOURCE-FLAC-YEAR-GROUP |

|
|
| - Artist-Title-(CATALOGUE)-LANG-ADDITIONAL-SOURCE-FLAC-YEAR-GROUP |
|
|
| - Artist-Title-(CATALOGUE)-LANG-TYPE-SOURCE-FLAC-YEAR-GROUP |
|
|
| - Artist-Title-(CATALOGUE)-LANG-ADDITIONAL-TYPE-SOURCE-FLAC-YEAR-GROUP |
|
|
| .1 Any spaces in ARTIST and TITLE should be replaced with _ (underscore).|
|
|
| If ARTIST or TITLE has . (dots) or - (dash), it SHOULD be |
|
|
| kept as close as they appear on the cover/booklet/physical medium, |
|
|
| but they do not have to be nuked if not. |
|
|
| .2 Brackets () in TITLE are only allowed if it is used in the album |
|
|
| title. The proof picture MUST clearly show this. |
|
|
| 4.9.1 Internal releases MUST be tagged GRP_iNT or GRP_INT. |
|
|
| .2 Internal releases MUST follow FLAC ruleset. |
|
|
| .3 Internal releases MUST not dupe an existing one that is 732 days old |
|
|
| or newer. |
|
|
| 4.10 YEAR tag MUST be the year when the record company/artist published it. |
|
|
| For non-original presses, the additional TYPE tag MUST be applied. |
|
|
| (example: release originally released in 1990, but rip is from 2000 |
|
|
| reissue, correct year would be 2000, with additional TYPE tagging). |
|
|
| NOTE: IF a YEAR can not be found on medium and/or cover it's allowed |
|
|
| to use 198x 199x 200x but it MUST be mentioned in the .nfo |
|
|
| 4.11 LANGUAGE tag is HIGHLY recommended for non-English releases. |
|
|
| If the vocals are non-English and the majority of them are best |
|
|
| described using one TLD country code abbreviation, then the most |
|
|
| appropriate TLD SHOULD be chosen and MAY be used as a tag in the |
|
|
| release name. |
|
|
| 4.12 Typos in releases (TITLE, ARTIST, YEAR etc.) leaving an invalid VORBIS |
|
|
| tag ARE NOT TOLERATED and require a complete REPACK. |
|
|
| .1 ARTIST and/or TITLE must not be translated to English from their |
|
|
| native language. English alphabet characters must be used to reflect |
|
|
| artist and/or title names (ref to rule 1.5). |
|
|
| NOTE: CATALOGUE and TYPE are optional tags (except for rule 4.10). |
|
|
| When they are used, they MUST be placed in the correct order. |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| FILENAME |
|
|
| 5.1 Filename MUST at least contain: Track number, Track artist, Track title. |
|
|

|
|
| 5.3 Track titles MUST be exactly the same as written on the backcover. |
|
|
| Tracklist containing all additional infos like featured artists or |
|
|
| remixers, if they are present, as long it does not exceed the maximum |
|
|
| filename length (see rule 1.5). |
|
|
| If additional information can be found printed on the covers and/or |
|
|
| booklet, it is encouraged to write them aswell. |
|
|
| .1 Releases with differences in tracklist because of different pressings |
|
|
| are not subjected to nukes or PROPERs. (i.e an Asian release tracklist|
|
|
| might miss description of featured artist(s) while a US release has |
|
|
| that description.) |
|
|
| .2 If the tracklist is written in more than two languages, the ripper is |
|
|
| free to write them both or just a single language. If one of the |
|
|
| languages is English then the English tracklist MUST be used. |
|
|
| NOTE: If the tracklist has changes, due to pressing errors for example, |
|
|
| it is encouraged to correct and explain them in the .nfo. |
|
|
| 5.4 Recommended filename formats: |
|
|
| - nr-artist-title.flac |
|
|
| - nr-artist-title_(remixer_or_featured_artist).flac |
|
|
| - a1-artist-title.flac |
|
|
| - b2-artist-title.flac |
|
|
| 5.5 Including -groupname in the filenames is allowed but not recommended. |
|
|
| 5.6 REPACKed releases MUST include a -repack suffix on each .flac file. |
|
|
| PROPER releases MUST include a -proper suffix on each .flac file |
|
|
| NOTE: -repack and -proper MUST be placed at the end of each .flac file. |
|
|
| 5.7 In VA releases the actual artist name MUST be before song title. VA |
|
|
| (Various Artists) is not a valid artist (01-va-song_title is |
|
|
| unacceptable). |
|
|
| .1 Excludes single audio track releases if it's a compilation of several |
|
|
| tunes produced/mixed/remixed by a single artist/producer. |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| VORBIS TAGS |
|
|
| 6.1 FLAC files MUST contain Vorbis comments. Vorbis comment field names |
|
|
| MUST be unique. Multiple comment fields are NOT allowed even though |
|
|
| the specification supports this. |
|
|
| 6.2 All FLAC files MUST have the following Vorbis comment field names and |
|
|

|
|
| .2 The "vendor_string" field of the VORBIS_COMMENT metadata block MUST |
|
|
| be present indicating the correct lib FLAC version. Be aware that some|
|
|
| software removes this field by default. |
|
|
| .3 For VA releases the ARTIST field contents MUST have the corresponding |
|
|
| artist name not "VA". (Exempts rule 5.7.1) |
|
|
| .4 Adding SOURCE (CD/CDM/CDS/Vinyl/DVD) or TYPE to the ALBUM field |
|
|
| is NOT allowed. |
|
|
| 6.3 The FLAC picture block (METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE) MUST be empty. Any cover |
|
|
| or booklet scans MUST follow Rule 9.5 |
|
|
| 6.4 Vorbis comment field contents use UTF-8 character encoding to allow easy |
|
|
| representation of any language. It is recommended to use UTF-8 in field |
|
|
| contents to ensure accurate tagging. Filenames MUST follow Rule 1.5. |
|
|
| 6.5 The GENRE field content MUST be the same for all the files in a release |

|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| ADVANCE/PROMO |
|
|
| 7.1 An ADVANCE or PROMO is not available at retail and is usually labelled |
|
|
| with some variation of the words Advance and/or Promotional. Having a |
|
|
| release before its retail date does not automatically make it an ADVANCE.|
|
|
| 7.2 ADVANCE and PROMO releases can always be duped by any retail release even|
|
|
| if the tracks on both releases are identical. |
|
|
| 7.3 ADVANCE and PROMO releases with voice overs, silence, or cuts on tracks |
|
|
| are not allowed. |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| BOOTLEG |
|
|
| 8.1 A bootleg is a release or recording that was not officially released by |
|
|
| the artist or record company (unofficial / unlicensed recordings). |
|
|
| 8.2 Conditions for bootleg releases are: |
|
|
| - There are no signs that the record company really released it. |
|
|
| - The artist or record company did not confirm the release as valid. |
|
|
| - The record company has no connection to the artist on the release. |
|
|
| - The record company does not exist and the release is not self-released.|
|
|
| - The release is not available at at least three retail stores. |
|
|
| NOTE: Currently valid retail stores (alphabetic order): |
|
|
| - www.amazon.com |
|
|
| - www.boomkat.com |
|
|
| - www.bestbuy.com |
|
|
| - www.cduniverse.com |
|
|
| - www.decks.de |
|
|
| - www.deejay.de |
|
|
| - www.hmv.com |
|
|
| - www.juno.co.uk |
|
|
| - www.sonymusicstore.com |
|
|
| - www.virgin.com |
|
|
| - www.ukdancerecords.com |
|
|
| - www.walmart.com |
|
|
| The shop itself must sell the record, not private sellers. |
|
|
| 8.3 Due to their unofficial nature, bootlegs might carry audio defects |
|
|
| (eg. skips, glitches, etc). If these audio defects are identified in the |
|
|
| nfo then a release cannot be considered invalid until there is a |
|
|
| valid one (eg. PROPER release clean of audio defects). |
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| PROOF |
|
|
| 9.1 Releases MUST always contain a proof CAMERA picture in JPEG format. |
|
|
| 9.2 Proof camera pictures MUST contain both, medium(s) and cover together. |
|
|
| If there is no cover, a booklet or promo sheet or anything valid MUST be |
|
|
| included to prove that the ripper has the release. If the medium/cover/ |
|
|
| booklet contains anything that may expose your identity, then that |
|
|
| part of image can be blurred or blackened. |
|
|
| 9.3 The proof picture MUST include a small piece of paper over the medium(s) |
|
|
| and/or the cover with GROUP name. |
|
|
| Artist, title and any other relevant info that proves release, must not |
|
|
| be hidden behind the piece of paper. |
|
|
| 9.4 GROUP tag must be photographed in the proof picture, software-edited |
|
|
| tags are considered invalid proof. Camera picture proof must not be |
|
|
| changed except to hide anything that might expose ripper (read Rule 9.2).|
|
|
| 9.5 Additional scans may be added but DO NOT count as proof. |
|
|
| 9.6 The resolution of the proof camera picture MUST be at least 640 width |
|
|
| and 480 height in JPEG format. |
|
|
| Artist and/or album/single title MUST be clearly readable. |
|
|
| 9.7 Proof fixes are NOT allowed, missing proof picture or bad resolution |
|
|
| requires a complete repack. |
|
|
| NOTE: EXIF metadata should be removed from JPEG files! Uniquely identifying |
|
|
| information such as the camera serial number and GPS coordinates can |
|
|
| pose a security threat if not removed, so this is very ESSENTIAL! |
