1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers delivery of electronic files containing musical audio recordings that can be downloaded and stored on a local device. It covers single tracks and complete albums, lossy and lossless formats, new and existing recordings, owned and outsourced delivery infrastructure. Each dataset binds one defined package and release version. The substantive method need is to separate one-time file preparation from shared storage and repeated transmissions, and verify a completed local copy without multiplying original creation burdens. Sources: un-cpc3-music; bandcamp-formats.

Exclude live or streamed audio without a delivered local file, non-musical audio and audiobooks, video downloads, broadcast programmes, musical composition/recording originals as the reference output, physical recorded media, software originals, databases and rights/licensing-only transactions. A download entitlement alone is not completed delivery. The core foreground begins with an approved source recording and ends with file acceptance on the receiving device. Original production and hardware manufacture are separately linked upstream layers; subsequent listening and retention are downstream use. This is a delivery inventory, not an asserted complete cradle-to-gate music lifecycle.

The cards define distinct exchanges, not universal quantities or a complete site bill of materials. Actual owned operations use metered electricity/device rows; outsourced operations use verified supplier-delivery rows with complete upstream scope. Mixed routes partition disjoint segments. None of these rows authorizes omitting unmatched geography or a receiving device.

Musical recording digital master (recording_master)

Conditional upstream-linked exchange: one identified approved musical recording master, with the evidenced share of its creation burden assigned to this download cohort. A reusable master is not physically recreated for every copy. Retain separate recording-production inventory and beneficiary ledger; a licensing price does not measure its environmental burden. If this layer is unavailable disclose an unlinked upstream layer, never zero creation burden.

Musical audio transcoding job (transcode_job)

Conditional: an external provider actually delivers one specified transcoding job for this musical release. Define source/target format, file manifest, job completion and included energy/device scope. Allocate one completed batch job across its actual beneficiaries; do not add owned electricity for an already provider-covered operation. No re-encoding is required for a ready compatible file.

Alternating current (hosting_electricity)

Electricity for the actual origin and cache storage intervals, retrieval and reserved capacity allocated to this release cohort. Include measured cooling and idle scope when attributable, with separate backup/redundancy records. Storage byte-time is an activity driver requiring meter reconciliation; it is not electrical energy.

This selected UUID is applicable only to actual CN grid-average user supply below 1 kV.

Musical audio file hosting reservation (hosting_reservation)

Conditional outsourced alternative: one supplier-defined hosting reservation for the identified file version, capacity, interval and replica configuration. Obtain its underlying storage activity and energy/device inventory, then attribute the covered portion per delivery. A monetary hosting invoice alone is insufficient. Exclude the same provider-covered burden from owned rows.

Alternating current (network_electricity)

Electricity for measured foreground download transport equipment and access network within the declared responsibility boundary. Reconcile session traffic, retries and shared reserved load to the same-period meter or supplier inventory. Do not multiply GB by an invented kWh/GB coefficient; remote provider-covered transport uses transmission_session instead.

IP packet router (router_hardware)

Conditional: one specified owned router participates in the transfer boundary. Attribute its device production and end-of-life share using documented capacity reservation, time and installed-life evidence. Actual switches, optical terminals or storage drives are distinct devices requiring their own rows if present; this router is not their proxy.

Musical audio download transmission session (transmission_session)

Conditional: an external network provider delivers the specified end-to-end session segment. Bind endpoints, transferred file checksum, useful and retransmitted bytes, connection technology, time and included equipment/energy layers. One successful delivered package can require multiple attempts; provider traffic counts do not define the final accepted output.

Alternating current (receiving_electricity)

Electricity attributable to receiving, writing, decompressing when present and checking the delivered files on the specified local device until acceptance. Use controlled measured sessions or valid device telemetry and disclose sampling. Subsequent offline playback, retention and repeat listening are separate use scenarios.

allocation_originalrecording_master; transcode_jobKeep original recording creation and reusable encoding work separate from incremental downloads. Use a conserved finite beneficiary ledger for the same master/version across download, stream and physical-release uses. Prefer measured subdivision; closed-cohort allocation must disclose its observation period, excluded beneficiaries and sensitivity. Never divide the full master burden by an invented future sale count or count it once per download.un-cpc3-music
allocation_attemptsaccepted_downloadInclude unsuccessful encoding/transfer effort attributable to the studied delivery cohort in the inputs; normalize to complete accepted local deliveries only. Separate repeated successful downloads as separate delivered copies within the same version cohort, while duplicate log entries never inflate output.un-cpc3-music

allocation_deviceserver_hardware; router_hardware; receiving_computerFor each specified device use its actual documented installed-life, reserved-time and resource-capacity share. Reconcile all beneficiaries and do not double count supplier-covered hardware. Distinct devices and noncomputing materials require their own records; no default life or mass is given.gsf-sci110
allocation_originalrecording_master; transcode_jobKeep original recording creation and reusable encoding work separate from incremental downloads. Use a conserved finite beneficiary ledger for the same master/version across download, stream and physical-release uses. Prefer measured subdivision; closed-cohort allocation must disclose its observation period, excluded beneficiaries and sensitivity. Never divide the full master burden by an invented future sale count or count it once per download.un-cpc3-music
allocation_attemptsaccepted_downloadInclude unsuccessful encoding/transfer effort attributable to the studied delivery cohort in the inputs; normalize to complete accepted local deliveries only. Separate repeated successful downloads as separate delivered copies within the same version cohort, while duplicate log entries never inflate output.un-cpc3-music

validate_referenceaccepted_downloadCheck 1 item complete accepted package against cp_acceptance, exact product name and all required qualifiers. Reject clicks, rights, revenue, streams, partial files or duplicate events as output.un-cpc3-music, bandcamp-formats
validate_unitsall inventory rowsCheck count/property/unit compatibility, exact kWh-to-MJ conversion, source-to-unit-group linkage and per-declared-reference-flow denominator. Do not replace a public primary property to force a UUID match; reject unsupported bytes/energy or copyright/mass conversions.nist-si-conversion
validate_overlapdelivery_systemReconcile disjoint meters/provider layers, device fractions, original beneficiary shares, storage intervals and retries. Verified CN electricity UUIDs require real region/voltage match; all other regions remain in scope and need separately matched identities.gsf-sci110
validate_coveragedatasetCheck every actual production and delivery stage, added atomic exchanges and unresolved layer disclosure. Require independent applicability and scientific review before approval; structural checks do not certify impact, legal use, audio fidelity or complete lifecycle coverage.un-cpc3-music, gsf-sci110
