About Downloadable Recordings:
We, at the CPI wiki, try to make sure that all downloadable files are of the highest quality that we can provide.


 * The files we provide are archives containing complete recordings, and the files inside the archives are MP3 files. We will not provide individual files which are actually part of a recording.
 * The MP3 files will be of the highest quality which we can lay our hands on. The minimum quality that we are prepared to provide is 128kb/s, 44,100 Hz, Joint Stereo.
 * The provided MP3 files will contain all the relevant information, with a minimum of the track name, album name, artist name, track number and year the recording was originally released. This information will be stored in both ID3v1 tags, as well as in ID3v2.3/2.4 tags.
 * Whenever possible, we will provide album art for the recordings and store it in the archive, as well as in the tags of each individual MP3 file which are a part of that particular recording.
 * We will normalize the individual MP3 files to ensure a uniform volume level across all tracks and recordings. The level applied is 96db. The normalization information will be stored in an APE tag inside the MP3 file and contains both MP3Gain information as well as ReplayGain information for those media players that support both or one of them.
 * We host the files from a Mega account. This allows people who also own a Mega account to directly transfer the archive to their account whilst allowing people without a Mega account to directly download the file to their computer.

TL;DR

 * All of the MP3 files will contain as complete information as we can provide and we store it in the MP3 files.
 * Any available album art will be stored in the MP3 file, but you will also find it in the folder after you unzipped the archive.
 * We also make sure that the MP3 files are not too loud or too quiet by running it through a special program.
