Getting started - or - What is this all about?

The TMB Wiki is the central point to find information about all TMB-related aspects of torrenting, important radio shows, famous live events, the definition of music styles, how to find out about the quality of the music files on the main TMB site. Even more so it will provide hints and guidelines for the more advanced users of TMB such as the preparation of high quality uploads, the tools needed for that, tips and tricks around cue-sheets .... and more. But to make all this come true, your interaction with the Wiki is required. Simply said: Do not hesitate to add things you want to see here and that you think might be interesting for other TMB users. It does not matter whether or not you are a 'n00b', an experienced user or a TMB admin, just do it.

But we also need to say what this Wiki is not about: The TMB Wiki is NOT a replacement for very basic TMB-related things such as the TMB-Rules, the TMB-FAQ, Bittorrent, 'how-to-download', the ratio system or about themixingbowl.org in general. If you are not familar with these things then, please, try the FAQ first.
