What file formats are accepted for contributions to the Live Music collection here?

Currently, the Live Music Archive will only accept audio files in 2 formats: Shorten (.shn) and FLAC (.flac). Please Note that MKW files (.mkw) are *NOT* an acceptable file format for your contributions because they lack cross-platform compatibility (Mac users are unable to play or decode MKW files) In addition, please do not upload the lossy files (MP3 or OGG) next to your FLAC or SHN format files – the Archive creates those files automatically, provided that the contributor agrees to having them available. This ensures that all the files here have uniform quality options selected. Please follow Etree.org’s Seeding Guidelines when preparing your contributions for addition to the collection. Pay particular attention to the Naming Standards section. If your contribution does not follow the Naming Standards they set forth, it will be frozen before becoming available to the public and you will be contacted to fix the filenames.
