rutracker is an okay alternative

>>70154666
Nice digits. I've migrated over to rutracker and soulseek. Definitely haven't downloading as much though since what.

>>70154666
I think that pth (Passtheheadphones?) is the hot shit right now

>>70154666
APL and PTH are the current replacements. PTH is more difficult to get access to. APL shouldn't be that difficult, as they just announced they are giving users an invite within the next 24 hours

A lot of people use slsk (soulseek).

Where do I do the interview

lacking libraries.

Apollo is going strong. Decent, friendly, effective staff, great community and good economy.

I'm not on PTH which is better by all reports, but being an Apollo member is an enjoyable experience and I've built up a decent buffer so it'll do for me.

>>70157086

>>70158047
how did you get an invite, if you dont mind me asking? You think they'd be willing to give me one? I have proof of whatcd member, but I was also elite (no proof) and have ~30 or so vinyl rips I've done myself ready for upload

>>70158098
yeah
>all physical music is destroyed

>worthwhile sites sprung up since it went down? What

yeah this record shop has opened

"Secondhand Records NYC will open at 1345 Dekalb Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn this Saturday, October 8th. "

bit more

"
The shop is run by New York native Federico Rojas-Lavado, who worked at the house label and distributor Downtown304 for four years before setting off on his own. He opened it in partnership with Radio Free Brooklyn, and it will house his vinyl stacks as well as a studio and events space. The inventory—which includes new and used records—will run a wide gamut from house, disco and techno to soul, blues and jazz, as well as Latin and African selections. Rojas-Lavado will also offer manufacturing and distribution for local record labels, taking advantage of his pre-existing relationship with Downtown304. The grand opening is on Saturday at noon.

so you should be able to get your new music here,

your best bet is to either do the apollo interview now or wait until pth starts doing theirs (shouldnt be more than a month from now)

>>70158171

>>70158144
I got in during open sign ups.

>>70158171
Isn't the apollo interview for former high-ranking whatcd members?

>>70158245
uh i wouldnt think so. considering how they had open sign ups til they hit 20k im not sure theyre going for elitism. anyone can take it

>>70155175
>>70157060
Theres not join in section in the page?

>>70158164
I'm a big fan of record collecting, but that doesn't even come close to filling the role what.cd had.
