#cutforwhatcd

The last thing I did on what was download a harry potter audiobook :(

Boohoo trump is president and my favorite torrent site is shut down i'm gonna kill my self

Any word on some kind of gathering point for former members? Especially since there were so many dedicated users.

I also have quite a few saved pages that might help towards references or rebuilding a directory.

And I was just about to get more of Huun Hur Tu....

>>69124362
I feel that the best place is here and r/trackers.

#what-refuge on irc.p2p-network.net

This is awful.
Now, was there any important stuff on what.cd that isn't on soulseek at least?

I was halfway through a download when it got killed :(

Got banned a year or two ago. This is great, great news.

>>69124535
you posted this in the other thread, faggot
no one cares

>>69124569
Lol what.cd is gone forever and your precious ratio never meant anything.

>>69124587

i want indexes of every version of every release of every album ever
i need muh 5.1 albums and japanese FLACs

>>69124311
If anyone still needs an invite, lmk. I was saving them so I could give them out.

>>69124311

does anyone has a invite to what.cd? want to try it out before is gone for good. Thx

>>69124587
>your precious ratio
Okay? I never downloaded enough from What to ever be concerned about ratio (and I was a member since the start of it). I just used it for rare shit I couldn't find on Soulseek and rutracker

And all this site being shutdown means is there will be imitators and all the music that was shared their will end up on soulseek or other public trackers.

>>69124614

>>69124311

MAYBE YOU SHOULD'VE LEARNED TO SHARE INSTEAD OF BEING TURBOJEWS THEN AT LEAST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SYMPATHY

I have a feeling Metaliica or just Lars secretly had something to do with this.

>>69125822
I honestly believe Pink Floyd might've been more likely to have What.cd killed.

They've been uber protective of that recently released $500 box set and it was uploaded on the site just a few days ago.

There has yet to be any Youtube uploads of the master versions of Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream, so I suspect it was these guys and not Metallica.

apparently Martin Shkreli has something to do with it

What had a better classical music selection than any other tracker and soulseek. That said, the selection was worse than commercial offerings.

>>69129552
You can actually find a lot of classical releases on slsk that you can't (couldn't ;_;) on What. The problem is, like with anything super-rare when dealing with slsk, is that you're inevitably dealing with one random person having it, and it may pop in and out of availability at random. Or they could decide to make it private or whatever because fuck you.

All these people making fun and being mean, that's all fine and dandy. I'm sad for you people. You're just jealous you never got to experience such an extensive and lovingly curated library of music. :^)

So is Soulseek where all those new releases on dodgy no name blogs hosted on shitty file storage sites originate from? May have to get on that then

>>69129612
Perhaps, but in my areas of particular interest (modern and contemporary music) I could find plenty of new releases on labels like Karios, NMC, Naxos and so on that I can't find on slsk.

The french police are in attack mode.
At most they've got a months worth of data they gathered and a shit ton of complaints from IP owners but the FP really isn't allocating resources to this shit to keep a full server up and running to fine comb IP's from copyright infringers.

They don't have the resources effectively deal with a torrent site, they're occupied with terrorising refugees. :P

I swear, the French Police are fascist pigs.

>>69135055

But really there's a lot of music that only will only ever exist on vinyl.

Huge loss for music fans worldwide. Such an enormous, meticulously curated archive of music might not ever exist again... I really hope something rises from the ashes like after oink suffered the same fate.

Even if you're one of these faggots who couldn't get an invite or got banned, the quality and quantity of what.cd's rips trickled down to other trackers. No matter how you look at it, it's a tragedy.

underground doesn't mean rare. underground bands have huge cult followings and you can find their easily.

what.cd was good for the rare stuff. the old european compilations. rare singles. different rips, special editions, box sets.

you're delusional if you think soulseek can replace what.

Frenchies havent fucked up the music scene this bad since the Bataclan.

Wait, what's wrong with Soulseek? I've been able to find so many things there

I had a 2.50 ratio with 300+ gigs on upload and I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT SHIT

We lost the library of Alexandria of online music and constantly updated catalogs of personal opinions, labels, old releases, re-releases fuck man, all those comments and indexes.

Who cares about e-peen???

>>69139188
nothing, soulseek is infinitely superior with it's much larger selection of albums. The people who are lamenting over the loss of this useless site are the ones who only downloaded flac torrents of the /mu/core chart and the top 40

>>69139696

Holy shit shut the fuck up.

>>69139919
Not OP, but it really was buddy. If you were a member, you would know this. ;)

I can't be mad though, the whole thing is just so fucking sad. All of it gone in a blink of an eye. :( Just lucky I was there for those wonderful 9 years.

RIP What.cd, you will be missed.

Please stop saying this. Seen so many melodramatic reddit-browsing simpletons repeating it, it's fucking embarrassing.

>>69140539
Rather this thread has more revealed just how bitter non-members really were about what.cd. It was a superb site for music sharing and discussion and if nonmembers weren't so butthurt they'd acknowledge this same as anyone else.

>>69140564
The selection on what.cd was absolutely massive and not wanting to repeat things that are said on Reddit is laughably childish.

>>69139188
>Wait, what's wrong with Soulseek?
There's actually loads of shit I don't see on Slsk that I did see on what.cd. I think /mu/ listens to more mainstream music than they give themselves credit for.

muh 34:1 ratio

>>69136395
The notifications were great, as were the collages.

Me, I've been really digging Radio Paradise that came with my sound system and am discovering new stuff from that. Compilation albums are always good sample platters as well.

How is demonoid doing these days?

I had 0.20 ratio but hey, I'm gonna miss that place

>>69124351
faggot

What happened to it? I didn't really use it anymore anyway.

The internet archive has petabytes of music saved from what.cd. They are waiting for the French investigation to unfold before they release it anywhere. They aren't being public with this information because they don't want to be investigated themselves.

I've got like 700 gigs of music and never felt the need to sign up, probably because my taste is so pleb tier I was to find anything I was interested in with no difficulty elsewhere.

i thought that there were multiple backup locations that could be activated in case something like this happened.

Faggots. All of them.

It would be a prime time for them to do so.
nostream devs are largely retarded, I have no faith in them setting up anything robust.

So is a music archive just as big possible without fostering an elitist cabal of faggots?
I was a what member but even I could realize it was full of snobbish virgins.

The servers were reverse proxies to the tracker and other services including irc.

I had a 0.6 ratio, with about 15GB downloaded since I got an invite 2 years ago

I never pirated music, I always thought that the artists should be payed for their work. That being said, seeing what.cd go is really a shame. I never used it, but that massive of an archive of music that was unobtainable elsewhere just vanishing really saddens me. Hopefully it can be rebuilt by the community of downloaders.

I posted this yesterday, I tried the IRC but it was too crowded to be of much help.

And most of the pages I have are of like search results and user pages, not as good as what I expected, like collages. I have plenty of them though, and it's better than nothing. Still would like to see what's going on now and if anyone wants to put up a pseudo-archive.

Also, what's the story on what.cd and archive.org?

>>69146126
he was on the im glad its gone train on tumblr

>>69146161

What was this in reply to?

I received an invite to what.cd from Yusuf Islam and it has been the single best source for every tiny rare thing with questionable origins. Rutracker can provide most of my usual garbage but I am definitely going to feel this absence.

Optimistically, this could help better transparency and information on shares here on /mu/.

I had to repost this because I mistakenly attributed my invite to Banjoman Franklin. He is the one who sold me a Sissy Spacek 7" and I got them confused. It's been a while.
This has been the most tragic and senseless act so far this year, I mean that. Despite Trump.

You sound like this reddit faggot:

I can't really begin to explain how much of a loss this is.
This was the biggest digital repository of music the world has ever seen. Spotify, iTunes, even Oink in its prime were kittens to what what.cd built.
I made this analogy in another thread, but it was the digital library of Alexandria for music.
It inspired me to learn about audio engineering, learn how to program, and most importantly, introduced me to music that changed me in ways I can't even begin to put into one tiny little box.
I was a part of the community for almost ten years. And it's a part of my life I'm going to have to look back on fondly.
And I don't regret a second of it.
EDIT: I know I'm the top comment in the memorial thread right now, so I'll ask. If anyone has any idea where the merch is, or can potentially get me more what merch, let me know. I just want a memento or two that's not a digital file.
EDIT: Also, greatest greatest comment of my life, written on my alt. I'd give the gold to the what staff if I could. I'll never be the same person because of the community they built and protected.

>>69146740
He's a bit magnanimous but he's not wrong. What.cd, just like rutracker and soulseek and nodata and even /mu/, has shaped the way I think about piracy, information sharing, copyright law, artist's compensation and rights, etc.
