It means List style, make a list instead of making a pragraph.  Include the band members that played on that album and any additonal muscians and include the year of release: 

Example (This taken from the database. You don't have to make it look like this):

Yes

You can download CD EX  and do it with that.It is free.

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ Download and install.

Open CdEx up and press your f4 button to bring up options (configuration Box). Select the encoder tab,then next to the Encoder box select Lame MP3 Encoder.

Move down to Encoder Options, and select (when encoding files for progArchives) Bit Rate Min 128 KBS- it might already be the default. For Quality select "very high quality" then cllick OK to close the Configuration Box

Now to recode your files: On the menu select:

 convert>re-encode compressed audio files.

Browse for your file(s) you wish to convert using the button on the far right of the Directory box (it is below the red X that closes the box).Click on the folder that contains the file you wish to convert and then click on the file to highlight it in blue then click Convert.

Then it is done!

 

An alternative program is:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm  also Free!!!

Bryan, it's not hard to convert them.  Every sample in this site is 128kbps/stereo, that's just the standard here.

Ahhhh, well that's another thing entirely!

aha !! Man Overboard is on da committee

Someone Zip me, I'm depressed...

MP3 submissions now have to be zipped?

I like the "itinerant" in this; I actually see them walking from house to house in shabby coats, ringing doorbells and, when the proprietor opens, looking left and right like that guy from Sesame Street who always wants to sell letters to Ernie, going "wanna have some prog?" in a hushed voice and then opening the coat like exhibitionists

you said this before; but who are in this team?
