Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Arrow Help Preparing Upload Files

I have placed a dozen MP3 files in my shared folder, but I have some questions:

1. Why don't they show up in a search?
2. How does the system know the artist?
3. Should I type in the name of the artist in the filename?
4. How does the system know the genre?

Thanks for helping a new member.

1. As far as I know, LW is configured so that your own files don't show up in the search results. It would be a bit silly to dwnld from yourself & would also waste a search's energy to incorporate it.
2. Search results can pick up on mp3 tags which can list artist, album, year, album title no., more specific details about the latter, etc. These details are usually added at the time of encoding into mp3. However, you can edit mp3 tags at any time should you have an mp3 encoder with a tag editor/ mp3 tag editor app. I often re-edit the tag info to change incorrect details or add more.
3. It's up to you whether you want to add the artist's name with the title. Some people do it. However, I'd suggest to get a hold of an mp3 tag editor. This will solve all your questions.
4. As above, this is mp3 id tag info.

Keep in mind there's lots of mp3's offered with incorrect/inaccurate info. It annoys the heck out of everybody b/c these fils show up in the wrong search results.

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't know MP3 files had tags.

I don't have an mp3 encoder with a tag editor/ mp3 tag editor app. Can you recommend one, and where to find it? I've been using RealPlayer to rip CDs, just for my own use.

Thanx

If you were on a mac I'd highly recommend MP3 Rage. For Windows I don't know. I'd suggest you do a google search for 'mp3 tag editor'. I did one & came up with an extremely large list too numerous to list here. Some of these might be free but you'll have to check.

Actually I have a question for you. Can RealPlayer convert different audio formats (other than to mp3) such as mp3 to wav or any other format? How many conversion options does it have?

Well, I learned something from your question. Here is the Help entry:

"Convert Media, a Premium feature, allows you to change the format and quality level of the media files associated with your media clips. You can convert audio media from any supported format (except secure formats) into MP3, RealAudio, and Wave formats."

I have not bought the Premium upgrade, but I see that it does permit a user to change the clip info on an existing MP3 file, as well as when converting from another format.

So there we have it. All I need to do is upgrade. Off to the bank!

Thanks

You might want to invetigate some of the mp3 tag editors 1st. Some might be for free & some might be able to add more types of info than RealPlayer (but I don't know.) Some can do more than others! Glad I was of help to you anyway & thanks for filling me in about RealPlayer.

Well, I upgraded my Real Player...so now I have more questions

In clip editing, I have the option of adding an ID3V1 tag and/or ID3V2 tag. Or just transfer "clip information"

Can you tell me what these mean, and how they differ?

Personally I'd add a ID3V2 tag. (Not knowing the softwares advanced features I'm not sure what it means by "just" transfer the details. I'd need to use it & experiment to tell you.) I can tell you that ID3V2.40 is the most recent tag available with the software I have. Yes there is a tag that refers to clip info. but that's different. That type of tag on my software has options of either v. 1.0/1.1 & generally reverts back to 1.0 even when I set it to 1.1. I believe that it ofers 2 types of tags for max compatibility. So if possible include both. Not all mp3 players available at present are capable of recognising all types & versions of tags. The more advanced version it is, the more details it can contain. Hope this is helpful, though I know I didn't say it very clearly.
