What.cd's interview lets him get inside properly and without using a normal user's invite, if you show some effort from your part. Inviting strangers from public forums, in turn, is forbidden by their rules.

It's not like the interview is all that hard. Unless someone is lazy, or a complete moron, they should be able to pass it. Why should I put my own account at risk for some complete stranger on the internet standing with his hand out begging for an invite?

There's probably a good reason you don't

I'll be sure to let you know when I want to take advice on how to use my invitations from a trader

Basically, if you can't be assed to learn a few things that will actually help you be a better member of the site, what exactly makes us want to invite you in the first place?

In a nutshell:
Learn the difference between MP3, Ogg, AAC (which are lossy, implying quality loss through encoding) and WAVE and FLAC (which are lossless, meaning the same quality as the source). Don't ever convert ("transcode") a lossy file to another format (even at a lower bitrate), but you can do whatever you want with a lossless file. Figure out that LAME is an MP3 encoder and its presets are (V0, V1, V2, ..., V8) in order of best to worst quality. Learn the difference between CBR (the entire file at one constant bitrate), ABR (variable throughout the file aiming for a target "average" bitrate) and VBR (variable throughout the file aiming for a certain "quality" level). Knowing that EAC and XLD are used for securely ripping CDs probably couldn't hurt either.

Voila, a few simple sentences. I've even bolded words you could look up on the hydrogenaudio wiki. That's pretty much all you need to know from a technical standpoint, though they might ask you about your upload speed, whether you're connectible (you've forwarded your torrent client's port), or other miscellaneous questions.

properly? then why do they have an invite system, if they believe what they are saying it would be irc interview only.
they think they are a special case or something, i have no idea why though.
