(I will try and write this as simply as possible)

Currently, one 乐谱 is awarded for each “一张” of upload. This currently means CD uploads are awarded one 乐谱 per disc, however for WEB releases it is not clear how many 乐谱 should be awarded.

For example, my upload Counter Intelligence Recordings - Coup d'Etat LP has 22 tracks separated into 4 x 12" release (4 tracks each) and 6 "bonus tracks". So it is unclear whether this album should be awarded 4 or 5 乐谱 (one for each “一张”), or just 1 乐谱 for the whole 22 tracks.

I would suggest an amendment that:
a) One 乐谱 be awarded for each 60-80 mins of music (roughly equivalent to one audio CD's worth of music)
b) the specific number of 乐谱 awarded should be at the moderator's discretion - to avoid arguments over rules

In the case of the example above, I feel 1 乐谱 is too few and 4 or 5 乐谱 would be too many. However, as the album's total length is 142 mins, I would propose that 2 乐谱 be awarded which is the equivalent amount if this were a CD release

I'd appreciate suggestions and feedback from other users (especially admin team). My sincere apologies that this post is written in English

in my point of view, it is difficult to classify the web released music as a real CD
so that the credits rewarded should not be same as real CD
in ASTOST, even you share a 20GB bluray disc also earn 1 credit only, but you can get more forum money by sharing large files

Thanks for your reply

I understand, yet I might also note that a multi-disc set would be awarded more than one 乐谱 (as it's several “张” of music)

What I wanna say is we cannot just use the length or file size of music to determine how many CDs it should be.
We may have a CD with 1 track only around 5mins, or example here, sharing a blu-ray audio CD with size over 7GB, both awarded 1 乐谱 only.
and like your case http://www.astost.com/bbs/read.php?tid=10948407, those pictures and description just like the chapters in a book, is a kind of presentation, but not representing as having 4CDs

Thanks for the analogy, I do understand. However, as those 4 "chapters" were sold separately, if I uploaded them as separate archives, it would be equitable to 4乐谱 (this would be greedy of course, hence why I did not). I can understand why the forum would be reluctant to review the rules however, as you pointed out rightfully

Your contents confuses me and the forum operators.
I suggest you to separate them into different threads if they are not the same set of album, you know operators cannot check every threads and contents.

I did not mean to confuse. I understand what you mean completely, and I do not expect the moderators to interpret this (such would be unreasonable)

This is a "digital box set"...so four vinyl releases (4 tracks each) and 6 digital 'bonus tracks' are released in the one digital compilation. The music is sold both separately as four (digital OR vinyl) 'singles' and as one (digital) 'album'.

I use it as an example of how it can be hard to define "一张" of digital release
