NWCD 1ST BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS - PART ONE - STAFF PICKS

It's hard to believe that exactly one year ago today NWCD was born. For many of us this community has become a new home - a place to share our music with each other, uphold the standards ingrained in us from our time on What.CD as well as innovate and develop new standards, features and methods that better enable us to curate this library we are all building together. The last year has been a tremendous learning curve for both users and staff. Folder naming standards, Gold and Silver grading and JSON implementation - some of the standards and projects you have embraced wholeheartedly. We the staff would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and dedication to improving the way we approach archiving and curating music, and for all your hard work and effort in making our standards a success and something to be proud of in the wider music tracker community. We look forward to the next twelve months and all the musical discovery it is sure to bring as well as the possibilities for further growth and development of our community.

Without further ado and to kickstart day one of our birthday celebrations and hopefully some of that musical discovery we present to you the Staff Freeleech Picks - Birthday Edition!

Stay tuned for more presents and events over the next few days!
