please tell me you don't actually believe that they nuked all the data before the frenchies could get their hands on the server....

They were shut down and all data was seized so that individual users can tracked down and sued for theft, copyright infringement, fraud, embezzlement, arson, rape and mass genocide.

>>69125634
Anything you like. You'll also realize that when you pay for something, the artist makes money and you'll probably end up listening to it more often instead of downloading like 3 albums a day and barely hearing them because mu keeps telling you to dl more albums. Plus, if you rip your own cds, you'll KNOW it's true FLAC quality, instead of just hoping.

I did seed though, 24/7

Well shit, it had a good run, amazing that it managed to survive as long as it did
I'm sure that another tracker will rise up in its place, but I don't think it will ever match the range that what had

Anything I wanted was a click away. Free invites. The FLACs to a dozen Stockhausen box sets all over the site. I threw twenty, thirty gigs on a request and then I'd either check back in a week or find it on Discogs and fill it myself.

Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I'd log on and snatch some more. We ran everything. We paid off artists. We paid off labels. We paid off journos. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.

And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent tunes - right after I got here, I went in a sharethread and asked for a black triangle Dark Side of the Moon with 100% log/cue, and I got the 2011 remaster in 192kbps. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a fox.

Just got the news.This is fucking devastating. I should have loaded up for ProgPower when they announced the bands. I travel for concerts, but I'm just not going to pay for every album I want to listen to. There's too much to try and sometimes I don't get to an album for almost a year.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/11/worlds-largest-music-torrent-site-goes-dark-after-french-police-seize-servers/
Update, 11:59 p.m. Eastern: Ars has received a response from the operator of What.cd’s Twitter account. The respondent would only identify him or herself as “an administrator” of the former site, but the person alleges that the torrent site’s operation was shut down by its administrators, not a police or government force.

“The facts are pretty skimpy right now,” What.cd’s representative says. “We have no official confirmation that servers were seized, but all available evidence does support that, so we are operating as if it is true.” That being said, what.cd’s administrators are confident that its major database of user information was not seized by French authorities: “The site was operational until we shut it down.”

That shutdown decision was made by What.cd’s operators out of heightened precaution, as opposed to being forced by an authority to do so, the representative tells Ars. That person also noted that issues with the site’s IRC server match up with information gleaned from today’s Zataz report.

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see some other site try to fill the void, but for now, we have no plans to try to return,” the What.cd administrator says.

What.cd’s representative declined to answer specific questions about the site’s legality but offered a personal statement about his or her role as an administrator: “We’ve never profited at all from this; all the funds [donated by users] were used for servers or services. That might not be very ethically convincing to some, but it was personally important for me. You can find all kinds of torrent sites that are run for profit, and that’s something none of us would be comfortable with. Collectively, we invested quite a lot of time in the site, and it’s safe to say we all did that because we loved what What.cd was.”

His rips were good but most of the time it was a meme and the CD versions were better.

Maybe the trend of sekrit club private trackers can die now?

They seem to induce terrible personality behavior in the people that use them and are bizarrely anti-sharing behavior for sharing technology.

Maybe finally some of the tech-heads can work on making something truly decentralized and more anonymous that will reach popular acceptance.

Whether or not the database was compromised, it's still obviously French anti-piracy LE action that prompted the closure.

Are you retarded?

>>69132461
And yet that's what they seemed to do.

What was the point of all that interview shit? If you're that concerned about leechers just use active or auto moderation to delete people with bad ratios and ip ban. There is no need to make it so inaccessible to potential useful users. How many people that had something to contribute - either through unique uploads or even just extra bandwidth for the swarm - got turned away because of the extreme effort of even signing up?

The whole sekrit thing seems like a mental disease. It makes people feel undeservedly like they are part of something elite or a tribe. They start loving that comforting feeling too much and go to absurd lengths to preserve it. Cutting down on sharing just to protect the feels when they could be more efficient in maximizing a good userbase.

You can get in by either 1) an invite or 2) an interview. Anyone can do it.
>How many people that had something to contribute got turned away because of the extreme effort of even signing up?
Then what did they have to contribute in the first place? All they needed was a simple interview or an invite. Too easy.
>The whole sekrit thing
It's not a sekrit. Everyone knew about it, even French authorities.
>seems like a mental disease
Like paranoia? The believe that some things are a SUPER SECRET CLUB when they are not? Do you also believe The Jews control the media?
>Cutting down on sharing just to protect the feels when they could be more efficient in maximizing a good userbase.
Ever been a supervisor at a job, and just hired everyone you met? or would it make more sense to choose the best for the job to be hired, via an interview process?

>>69132612
where do you get this idea that people were drawn to what not because of its quality control and massive amount of torrents but because it was a 'secret club'? weird stance. no one on what was 'anti-sharing'; quote the opposite, actually. you strike me as awfully entitled

>the extreme effort of even signing up
literally one (1) piss-easy interview. face it, if you couldn't deal with that you were either too dumb in the first place or, for various reasons, perfectly content with rutracker/sharethreads/soulseek. that's really what it all boils down to

>>69132638
>Actually buying music?

Shouldn't this meme be dead by now? One of the dark truths revealed by downloading is that you can listen to a lot more music than you can realistically buy. In the old world you either had your tastes much more limited to a buffet choice table prepared and curated by music industry executives, or you were part of a cultural privliged group that lived in a urban htospot like New York that could psychically attend diverse music shows.

There's no gong back to that now that Pandora's Box has been opened. Unless you want to like only 12 bands or rely on Pitchfork to tell you what to like.

>>69132612
>extreme effort of even signing up?
It's like a couple hours out of your life tops, it's not that bad.

I mean I thought some of their policy was pretty draconian too, but empirically it was an extremely successful strategy in cultivating what was probably the largest high quality collection of music in the history of the human race.

Sure, there's no going back to listening to only purchased music but streaming is so widespread now, you can pretty much listen to anything and not have to download or buy it. I tend to listen to most stuff on Spotify but if I really like something i'll get a lossless copy from What.

I'm sure that most people could afford to buy a digital or physical collection of music that they really appreciated.

Wrong. There's lots of music not available on streaming services

>>69132956
Where did I say that?

Looking forward to my multi-thousand bill from the music industry for sharing their music

>>69133098
That's really only an option if you were sharing shit like Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc.

No ones coming after you for sharing mono needledrops of The Shaggs or The United States of America.

I agree completely. You just dont see that kind of pretentiousness in any other private tracking communities. Being an active member of a private tracker for rare films and literature for years, and still turned away from What after they found out I was invited by a friend from that private tracker. The thing is, the community is better on that smaller site than what. You get such a stench of mu core autists on what, governing what people should contribute and the whole interview process is just a disservice to anyone actually interested in collecting music. They should be making it easier and more accessible, not more obscure than it is sitting in a beat up vinyl at the record shop .

>>69133720
>You just dont see that kind of pretentiousness in any other private tracking communities
You also don't see that quality control.
>governing what people should contribute
Lol no one did this. You are fucking dumb

>>69132638
I always went to rutracker first and what.cd only when rutracker didn't have what I was looking for.

>>69133758
yes you do.

>>69133771
Prove it.

>>69133720
All the good private trackers are strict about inviting people. I got banned from PTP for inviting someone on 4chan.

>>69133720
>governing what people should contribute
lmao what

>the whole interview process is just a disservice to anyone actually interested in collecting music
on the contrary, it was key to understanding, navigating and contributing to the site

Falling for the meme that whatcd controls its quality as good as other private trackers. Falling for the meme that its status/quality needs to be upheld by an archaic interview process. The same can be accomplished without, thats why theres a fucking seed ratio in the first place.

Nice meme.

>>69132864

So wrong. Spotify is absolutely garbage for non western music. Not to mention the freedom of options on what.cd, with usually every reprint/remaster/reissue available for release. Unlike Spotify, which only ever has the most recent mastering

>>69133853

ITT: faggots trying to defend what's stupid ass fucking interview BS

>>69131554
Yeah. It wasn't only the fact that the album was there, but it was also there in a variety of formats and different releases.

I'm too pleb to appreciate whatever difference must exist between releases, but I imagine some people do and that's what fueled the need for what.cd to exist.

>>69130712
Where? It's not under the old address at least. Plus would it require to register again?

ITP: faggot trying to justify not spending 30 seconds reading the interview prep site

>>69132956
A lot of the shit not available on streaming services is obscure or niche stuff that was only ever issued once on a limited number of physical copies. Good luck finding a copy for yourself for a reasonable price. Not to mention the fact that in doing so you wouldn't even be supporting the artist, just some second hand price gouger.

Are you starting to see what what.cd offered to music fans?

this is definitely a stupid question but how the fuck does the search function on rutracker work?

I always knew it would happen someday but chose blindly to hope it might not come. At one point I was Elite on the site but when it went under my ratio was only 0.62. At least I didn't lose buffer and had roughly ~800 gbs down.

if you'r not here to mourn the loss of the greatest music archive we had then maybe you should refrain from posting.
It's nice that you want to show off your learning disability and demonstrate an inability to type more than half a sentence at a time, but that's not what this thread is about and, in fact, unless 4chan opens up a board dedicated to (you) then there will never be cause to make a conversation with anonymous strangers about yourself. So fuck off.

>>69137060
Yeah, but Google is an evil corporation and they do naughty things with your private data. I wouldn't even recommend logging into Rutracker from Chrome.

To answer the question, first you make an account on the site, Log in, and then type your query into the search bar. Don't hit enter; click the dropdown menu and choose the second option. It looks something like "Bce Tembl."

Also, you linked to a post making light of a weird shitpost that's barely intelligible and completely contextually invalid so either you're so monstrously stupid that you don't understand that you're not infallible while being especially fallible or you're actually mentally ill. They're probably the same thing, though. I'm guessing you're a self-conscious, awkward teen who comes here hoping to form an identity so he can look cool in real life but approaches his task in a counter-intuitive way and ultimately has ended up becoming an even more toxic and unlikable shithead than he was to begin with.

So what you wrote was, within the context that you inserted yourself into;
"WhatCD also forgets about the music in terms of the importance to music WhatCD had".
That's literal nonsense.
Of course, I explained so much already in a post above, but since your English ability is so unbelievably laughable I've now had to spell it out for you.
Please, feel free to try and "I was only pretending to be retarded" on top of this now, just to fully flesh out your pathetic shitpost narrative of "I'm an idiot and here I am not making sense and getting defensive about that being explained to me".
