To offer your files to the widest possible audience, use filenames that are compatible with computers around the world.

Consider the following when naming files:

Special characters in filenames can cause problems on some computers. Use only uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and the underscore (_) in your filenames.

Refrain from putting spaces in file name. Instead, use the underscore (_) to separate words. Use a period (.) only to separate a filename extension from the rest of the name. Do not begin a filename with a period.

Example of good file names: JaneDoe_Commercials_2008 or JohnDoe_CharacterReel_2005

Special Notes Some computers rely on filename extensions (for example, the ".doc" in the filename "letter.doc" or ".mp3" in "demo.mp3") to decide which application should open a file. If you don't include extensions in your filenames, someone downloading a file might not know how to open it. Some computers use short filenames.

To make sure anyone can copy shared files, use 8 or fewer characters to name them (12 characters total if you include an extension). If you include extensions in your filenames, when someone using a different type of computer tries to download a file from your file sharing page, their browser may open the file in a browser window instead of copying the file to their disk. In this case, they should be able to use the browser's Save or Save As command to save a copy of the file.

To answer your second question, all auditions and demos must be uploaded in an Mp3 file format. If the client is requesting a AIFF file, then you will be able to send them this file format after the job has been awarded to you.
