Tracker

Repository of information regarding unreleased music files.

Visit the website to view the contents.

What to contribute

This tracker is for CD-quality leaks only. The following are outside the scope of this tracker and will be rejected.

  • Snippets (low or high quality)
  • Released songs (e.g. in higher bitrate, OG file)
    • If an unreleased song on the tracker gets released, then it may remain on the tracker (just tag it with "Former")
    • Do not add songs to the tracker that were never leaked at any point

Creating a song page

To create a new page for a song, copy and paste the template from here.

Format

I suggest viewing existing songs to get an idea of the format. Visit the content folder, click any .md file, then press the "Raw" button. This is the template that these files must be in.

  • Everything should be written in lower-case. An exception to this being when specific capitalization is needed. (e.g. "DY krazy" or "capo DTE")
  • Use double-quotes when necessary, not single-quotes. Typically only needed for lists.

Fields

Any of the following options may be omitted if they are not publicly known.

  1. title: The song's name. All characters are allowed.
  2. aka: List of common alternative names for the song
  3. artists: List of artists featured in the song
  4. producers: List of producers who produced the beat
  5. tags: Any additional info about the song that isn't unique to it. Some examples include:
    • "2018" if the song was recorded in 2018
    • "OG file" if the file related options are describing an OG file
    • "open" if the song contains an open verse
  6. file_name: The exact file name and extension of the song (ideally the OG file, but not necessary)
  7. file_title: The title in the metadata of the file, if it has one
  8. file_comment: The comment in the metadata of the file, if it has one
  9. recorded: If known, the date the song was recorded. (YYYY-MM-DD)
  10. leaked: If known, the date the song was leaked. (YYYY-MM-DD)
  11. length: The duration of the song. (mm:ss)
  12. md5: The MD5 checksum of the file
  13. mirrors: List of Base64 encoded URLs to download the file. Avoid uploading files to websites that frequently get taken down. Avoid uploading files to websites that re-encode the files.

Page's file name

The name of the file you submit should be the song's name, replacing any spaces with hyphens, URL safe characters (no ', &, or brackets), and ending in .md

Submitting a song

If you are familiar with GitHub, feel free to fork this repository and create a pull request with any changes/additions you wish to make.

If you have no idea what that meant, you can also join the Leak Preservationists Discord server and submit your Markdown (.md) files in #submissions. This will take significantly longer, however, so I suggest learning how to create pull requests on GitHub.
