Proposed Scene Rules for Lossless Audio (Version 0.9)
=====================================================
===========
Standards
===========
- FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) [flac.sourceforge.net] .FLAC extension only, no .OGG
- FLAC compression must be Level 8.
- Must be ripped with EAC (Exact Audio Copy) [www.exactaudiocopy.org). Must contain .LOG and .CUE files.
* .LOG files ensure ripping was done correctly. It contains offset information, CRC's, ASPI layer, Test and copy mode and other information.
* .CUE files ensure the pregaps, gaps, and everything are kept the same as the original album.
- Must be tagged properly. Tags must include Artist, album, tracknumbers, tracknames, genre, year. Release group should be in comment.
==================

- Faked releases, non original copies of a CD, or mislabled source.
- Misnamed files, or files missing tags.
- Replaygain not allowed, or other banned tags
- Incorrect compression (FLAC below Level 8 or APE below High)
- Badly Ripped release (Bad offset, No test and copy mode)
- No .M3U file.
- No .LOG file.
- No .CUE file.
- No .SFV file.
- No .NFO file.
- Source other than CD, such as tape, MP3, or Vinyl not allowed unless it is the only way to obtain the source.
- Source that is poor quality such as an Advance CD with deleberate poor quality (pops and clicks etc.)
- Dupes of other releases.
- Broken Cue files(cuefix ok for unnuke)
====================
Naming Conventions
====================
[Dirs]
Artist-Title-Format*-Year-LOSSLESS-Group
* Retail/CD/2CD/OST/CDS/Mix/Sampler/Advance/Live (optional)
[Files]
00-artist-title-format-year-lossless-group.nfo
00-artist-title-format-year-lossless-group.m3u
00-artist-title-format-year-lossless-group.log
00-artist-title-format-year-lossless-group.cue
00-artist-title-format-year-lossless-group.sfv
01-artist-title-group.flac
02-artist-title-group.flac
03-artist-title-group.flac
etc...all lower case
Groups are allowed to include the Catalogue number in the directory
name if present but this must be inside brackets eg. "(123)"
===========
Extras
===========
- Covers are optional but they must be of a good resolution.
- An OGG sample is optional.
- Mix CD's that are 300mb+ flac files must be Rar'ed
.:LOSSLESS:. WHY RAR Mix cd's?
Because the file is/can be too big to transfer through
ftp without getting a .sfv error. 300mb+ only, anyhting smaller can remain in .flac.

Comments
=============
This is _still_ a preliminary Document, nothing is set in stone, everything is
subject to change ;) But we are nearly there now, expect 1.0 soon.
