IFR Upload Notes

[legendkiller]

Alright, here's the deal. It has came to the attention that we have people here who arent following our uploading rules on folder structure and naming.

So here's a quick refresher:

Torrent file naming Structure

Performer - Title (year) [format] {additional info}

• Example: Rush - 2112 (1976) [FLAC] (MFSL) (for CD-Audio)
• Example: Rush - 2112 (1976) [VINYL] (for Vinyl)
• Example: Slipknot - Disasterpieces (2002) [DVD9 NTSC] (2DVD Limited Edition) (for DVD-Video)
• Various Artists albums MUST be titled Various Artists - Album name (year) [FLAC]

Track Tagging

Each individual track within an album should be tagged in the following way:

## - Title.flac

For example:

01 - Baby One More Time.flac

Folder structure

(1) When naming folders within your upload folder, keep it short!

The path to the file cannot be long, for several reasons.

• Artist - Album (year) [format]/Disc 1ofn/
• Artist - Album (year) [format]/CDn - Title/
• Artist - Album (year) [format]/Artwork/

Example:

• Rush - Different Stages (1998) [FLAC]/Disc 1of3/
• Rush - Different Stages (1998) [FLAC]/Disc 2of3/
• Rush - Different Stages (1998) [FLAC]/Disc 3of3/
• Rush - Different Stages (1998) [FLAC]/Artwork/
• Iona - The River Flows (2004) [FLAC]/CD1 - Iona/
• Iona - The River Flows (2004) [FLAC]/CD2 - The Book of Kells/

(2) When uploading DVD-Video, place all the disc image files (ISO/MDS/MD5) together in /Image folder.

This applies to combined CD + DVD releases as well.

• Artist - Album (year) [format]/Image/
• Artist - Album (year) [format]/Artwork/

Example:

• Pink Floyd - Live At Pompeii (2003) [DVD9 NTSC]/Image/
• Pink Floyd - Live At Pompeii (2003) [DVD9 NTSC]/Artwork/

Example - combined release:

• Mike Oldfield - Complete Tubular Bells (2003) [FLAC] (Bonus DVD5 PAL)/Disc 1of1/
• Mike Oldfield - Complete Tubular Bells (2003) [FLAC] (Bonus DVD5 PAL)/Image/
• Mike Oldfield - Complete Tubular Bells (2003) [FLAC] (Bonus DVD5 PAL)/Artwork/

Now, all of these rules are in the wiki and everyone should have read them before even uploading.

If you are going to upload, your files and folders MUST be in this structure. The only thing that is separate from this rule is Scene releases.

We will be disabling uploading privileges of those that are not following these rules. If it keeps going, only certain people will be able to upload.
