Submit Source Info
This page gives additional information about how to submit a new source using the new source upload page.
Circulation Date
This is a date in the format month/day/year using two digits for month and day and four for the year. This is the date the source came into circulation. For instance, if a recording was made in June but the taper didn't seed it until September this field records the September date. This is often populated with the date a source was first uploaded to a torrent tracker unless the circulation date is listed in the Info File.
Media Size
This new field is for the total size of the source in bytes. This information is usually gathered by executing
shnlen *.flac
and entering the expanded size such as 894003048.
Uncompressed Media Size
This field stores the uncompressed size of a distribution, usually calculated with shntool.
