WHAT IS ISO.WV PACKED RELEASE FORMAT

=====================

The file you're looking inside is an ISO.WV-packed release - a new generation

of no-need-to-change lossless music releases. The main benefits are as follows:

- LISTEN it with normal cue tracklist

- BURN it to audio-CD

- STORE it on archive media (DVD, for example)

- SHARE it on p2p network

and all of the above - WITH THE SAME FILE, unchanged since you've downloaded it

WITH NO NEED TO UNPACK IT.

FEATURES BRIEF DESCRIPTION

==========================

LISTENING

If the file ending is .ISO, then change it to .WV (or .APE corresponding to codec suffix

in release file name), otherwise leave as is. Then every player with the support of CUE

standard tracks and lossless codecs (foobar2000 for example) should recognise the release

as lossless music file with embedded CUE.

<LOG> tag also contains EAC log file to ensure rip quality. Enjoy listening!

BURNING TO AUDIO-CD

Mount release as an ordinary ISO image to virual CD - you'll see it contents

is pretty usual - music file, cue file, log file, covers (if any),.. -

everything you get accustomed with popular RAR releases. Yes, you can listen music

from the mounted iso through external cue instead of embedded (as described before).

But the main advantage is you can burn audio-CD without unpacking release.

Just configure your favourite burner (like Nero) to suppot lossless audio codecs

directly (usually via plugins). Enjoy burning!

STORING IN HOME ARCHIVE

Releasers made everything to let you do nothing with downloaded release.

It's fully-functional for every common task music releases are used to.

Store it as you got it to listen directly from archive media. Enjoy fully-functional

home archive discs!

SHARING ON P2P NETWORKS

For the above reasons if release remains unchanged you can support p2p sharing

WITH THE SAME FILE you're storing for listening. That doubles your hard disc

music collection capacity!

And the last (but not the least). ISO no-need-to-change releases technology

designed for convenience of "lazy" majority of p2p users who don't like to spend

much time to recode, rename and repack downloaded releases. If you have very special

personal requirements for files in your music collection (repacking all releases

to ALAC codec for example) - keep doing what you use to do - any file of ISO.WV release

can be unpacked by WinRAR (for this procedure you will need to rename the file ending

.ISO.WV to .ISO) or copied from mounted virtual CD.
