Extended Naming Standards

The year project on tol.etree.org (an ambitious project to archive every Grateful Dead show in circulation) created their own naming standards to make navigating their collection easier. The author would like to see their standards replace the older etree.org NamingStandards. This page describes this new naming standard. Please note that this standard is for the top-level directory holding a particular show and is not meant to be used for naming the individual Flac or Shorten files.
