Preparing Gurbani Audio Files for Upload

Before you upload Gurbani audio files  to SikhNet Play you need to make sure all files are tagged with the correct Artist, Album & Track titles. Many music files that are posted online don't have any of this information, so it is important to double check and clean up your audio files so they are properly organized/tagged, and don't contain duplicates of audio that is already on SikhNet Play.

On SikhNet and on the web, various Gurbani fonts are used to display Gurbani text on web pages. Installing these fonts give you the ability to see the Gurbani text as it is written in Gurmukhi. The Most common fonts in use are the GurbaniAkhar typefaces.

Some of the fonts are varied thickness (GurbaniThick, GurbaniThin, GurbaniAkhar, etc) so it is a good idea to install at least a few of the different fonts for optimum display.
