Re: What.cd account disabled
You could try going to their irc network.
Re: What.cd account disabled
OK thanks for the advice. How do I do that?
Re: What.cd account disabled
use an irc client, i.e. mirc if you're on windows, or xchat if linux or w/e.
you'll have to connect to irc.what.cd and join the channel #what.cd-disabled
Re: What.cd account disabled
Thanks. I have never used IRC before and have downloaded both XChat and mirc. I can't understand how to use them so could you explain it to me please?
Ok I worked it out. The invite was given as part of a giveaway. Is that breaking any of the what.cd rules?
Re: What.cd account disabled
find out if the person who invited you is also banned if so..there's no chance of getting your account back

Re: What.cd account disabled
make sure you now about music transcoding. what.cd like their users to upload music, and not just leech!
Re: What.cd account disabled
I spoke to Stewy on their IRC and he seemed reasonable and gave me my account back but disabled my invites, just like the person who gave me the invite
Well I don't know what transcoding means. I will upload music though, I will just find out about it when it comes to uploading the music.
Re: What.cd account disabled
In a most basic definition, transcoding is encoding one music format to another. For example, encoding a OGG file to an MP3. However, some transcodes are not allowed. For example, encoding a MP3 file (lossy codec) to a FLAC (loseless codec) is not allowed.
Basically what you want to do is watch what you upload. There are some tools out there to verify if a given file is a transcode or not. If you're on What.Cd they have helpful guides that will go further into detail than I ever could :P
