		+	IFPI 72xx (without toolstamp, usually), IFPI 50xx and IFPI QWxx ringcodes with their respective mastering SID code should be kept separated and added to a new line.

		+	== Ringcodes ==
		+
		+	In general, the rule for adding a new line to the ringcodes field is that this should only be done when a new mastering code or mastering SID is present. For PS2, however, there are two exceptions to that rule:
		+
		+	=== Australia / Europe ===
		+
		+	Australian releases often share the same mastering code and SID as their European counterparts, but have a unique pattern for mould SID and toolstamp which differentiates them. Where an Australian disc has a toolstamp A00, B00, C00 etc. and/or a mould SID of the pattern IFPI 65xx (compared to the usual IFPI 94xx for EU releases), then this should be added as a separate line.
