What.CD : Updates Rules

The staff is pleased to announce two updates to our upload rules regarding FLAC and AAC. This is part of a wider effort to make small and manageable changes to our uploading rules instead of waiting for huge overhauls that can be very difficult to implement and digest.

Rule 2.1.1 has been updated to read

The only formats allowed for music are:
Lossy: MP3, AAC, AC3, DTS
Lossless: FLAC (maximum 24-bit depth, maximum 192 kHz sampling rate)

We understand there will likely be a healthy debate regarding the decision to cap FLAC at 24/192. This rule change is not to say anything positive or negative about the various arguments for and against 24-bit, 192 kHz audio, but rather to draw a line in the sand and say something much clearer: we do not find a purpose to What.CD offering content above a depth of 24 bit and 192kHz sampling rate. For more information, click the discussion link below for a post written by vitiate explaining some of our reasoning.


Additionally, we have clarified our policies on AAC torrents and how they may or may not be trumped. Previously, there was much ambiguity regarding whether cross-media and cross-edition trumping was permitted - we wish to clarify our stance to disallow such a trump.

Rule 2.1.24 has been clarified to read

AAC torrents may only be uploaded if they represent editions unavailable on What.CD in any other format sourced from the same medium and edition (e.g., an iTunes AAC WEB release can co-exist with a CD release of the same edition). See 2.2.9.11 for information about trumping AAC torrents.

Rule 2.2.9.11 has been similarly updated to read

An AAC encode can be trumped by an allowed encode of the same medium and edition. Note: For WEB torrents, comparisons of audio quality and source reliability will determine whether or not an MP3 may trump an AAC (at the discretion of the moderator involved).
