Some (or maybe most) of you probably know this already, but I think it's worth mentioning.
If you have basic information about audio ripping and transcoding and truly are a music lover, and also have a couple of hours of free time, there is an easy way to get what.cd invites.

BTW this is how I joined them myself.

it's so hard to get invite from their iterview

All you have to do is dedicate your self a little bit and do some studying. If you want in there site bad enough and love music enough getting in is no problem at all. Just study!

Here are some topics you might need to know about:
LAME mp3 encoder and its different settings (Like CBR and VBR): http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lame
EAC (Exact Audio Copy) which is a free program for ripping CDs: http://www.exactaudiocopy.org
What.cd Rules: http://whatinterviewprep.webs.com/pr...interview.html

good info iam a music lover will get there at the interview now

i started studying, but it seems like there is so much information...

for example the EAC guides are so long!

I just failed! Ha ha. Made it to the second round of questions. Pretty dumb things I didn't know though. Will try again in a couple of days.

its a really dauntling task!

That just isn't true. Ive seen plenty of users who are fine without uploading anything, let alone "creating" music. Ive only uploaded a couple myself.
