No one cares...
>>744921
Well, I do.
>>744921
i care
>>744921
Anyone that has tastes in obscure music does.
test post please ignore
>>744921
Go back to DJ Tiesto you dumb shit.
What.CD had an amazing obscure collection. There was stuff on there you're never going to find on Spotify or whatever other service you use.
Anyone know what the plans are now? It would be a huge loss to have lost access to this stuff.
Fuck man. I'm gonna miss what.
when oink's got shut down, what.cd and waffles took its place.
Now that what and waffles are out hopefully something pops up

>>744951
This I agree with
End of an era. RIP Rippy.
I am devastated. I was so close getting my ratio about 1.05 so I could get an invite to other sites. But what.cd was the best site for torrents period. I don't know what to do now.
>tfw I never spent my 25 freeleech tokens
>>744935
use rutracker
I find all sorts of obscure shit there
Who gives a shit? I can find the most obscure songs on Soulseek without some dumbass interview or the need to be invited.
Typical Frenchies surrendering.
>>744987
just what i wanted to say
>>744987
gee i sure do love retagging albums constantly
ha ha, trackerless torrents they said! Won't work they said!
RIP. Another site down.
Time to go trackerless, fgts.
Websites are too easy to kill. Communities are impossible to kill.
>>744965
I had 5 tokens left, spent 2 of them about 10 minutes before the site and tracker went down, I'll never get that music.
I care too

Any other music torrent sites?
>>745186
No seeders
>>745191
Strange. I tried it it worked.
Maybe the .torrent solves the issue
http://www67.zippyshare.com/v/m8kjip6x/file.html
>>745193
Afraid not - it added a few trackers, but all I'm still seeing is one libtorrent peer with 0% somewhere in the states. Looks like there's something wrong with the torrent.
>>745199
Nothing wrong with the torrent I am downloading smooth
>>745193
Thank you
>>745199
Are you the User from the US? Strangely I see you in the peerlist but theres no transfer towards you. The other user has no issues to download from me.
Please continue to seed. Thanks much. I will seed until 2017 or error.
-US, Deluge
>>745222
At least 2017, I should say.
Was anyone here a high rank/class on What?
>>744899
lel fuck you hipster normies
please seed
So what was this site for? Just obscured music?
>>745361
Every music. It was a huge library of every kind of music, with FLAC/MP3 of all different releases. collages to help discover new music.
It also had audiobooks, applications, ebooks and e-learning stuff.
The main attraction is the depth and breadth of the music offered.
>>745391
I feel twisted about What.CD
I had the chance for an interview, but cancelled it before it began as I had more important things to do than talking about BitTorrent and audio-related things. On the other hand, I might have blended in perfectly in the community, as music makes up my life pretty much, and I prefer torrenting over DDLs on every occasion. (Yet I never got an invitation, as all of my friends suck balls and don't know more about the internet other than Wikipedia and 9geg)
Now, hearing that What.CD had to shut down, I feel lucky, as no IP or user data from me remained on these servers (although I hope for all of What.CD's users that their data got deleted and unreadable and all..), yet I feel sad since I missed the biggest music library that might have existed, and I could have contributed to it.
Welp, RuTracker then, as always.
>>745391
Man, wish I'd have known about it before. Trying to find good music is near impossible on the sites I use.
>>745395
They wiped the servers before they got seized.
>>744921
Motherfucker it's the library of Alexandria for music.
Some of the stuff on there isn't even sold anywhere. What is/was the bakabt of music.
Go back to your Beyonce.
>>745101
Nah thank good old uncle Sam.
DMCA started all this. Never forget.
>>745186
Will seed until 14.01.2017
I'll try to seed this until my death.
>>745395
I'm sorry to hear that. I was only on it for a few months, and I feel like I missed out on a lot, but it was great while I was on there. Found a lot of great music, but now need a lot more drive space.
Just as What.CD and Waffles came up after OinK went down, there may be another to rise up as What's 'replacement', but I'm sure there'll be a lot of music lost. Perhaps keep an ear open for that. I'll take a while to build up the library again, however.
Pedro's & Libble for now
>>745483
people on what were paranoid that their music would be lost, so they did backups on their HDDs
we haven't lost the treasure, just the map. A great deal of time will pass before people upload their gems again.
Damn, looks like it's back to the shitty Russian direct DL websites for me
Can someone post magnet links to music from WCD? Of course, the torrents would have to be generated once more since they don't have the private flag.
>>745569
Bro The Game soundtrack thread has a zippyshare link at the end with 200+gb of what.cd stuff
>>744899
Well this sucks. Anyone know any other specific places I can get invites to AB from? This was my only chance.
so ironic the music industry would encourage destruction of music. i'll never give those fucks a cent.
>>745591
Unless things have changed, AB offers registration through an application, a fucking easy one I'll add
>>745598
Applications have been closed for 11 months.
How i download music now?
">t"
>>745645
Soulseek
>>745591
post email and I'll send you an invite, I got an extra. only requirement is don't be a fuck-up
>>745666
sent an email, yeah send me the proof
keep up the good work, UK libTorrent
It kinda kicks the notion that private trackers are "safe" into touch though.
how do I get into private trackers without being autistic? What's an entry-point I can start out on?
My Anonamouse looks easy to get into but I have zero interest in books. Just want to get onto animebytes mainy, passthepopcorn would be great.
>>745767
Ask friends if any have invites.
>>745772
>implying a non-autistic person will survive long enough to not fuck his inviter over
>>745767
Just look for a sharing system that actually works.
>>745775
oh that's easy then
>>745669
I will seed it for months don't worry.
Well, I guess it's back to googling "artist album torrent" in the library then.
>Metallica releases new album after eight years
>it actually leaks two days before release instead
>suddenly What.CD dies
>at the same time they announce their entire discography is on Napster
Merely a coincidence, nothing to see here, gentlemen. Move along.
Two sites have come up.
PassTheHeadphones.me
Right now completely invite only. Good luck getting on here. They're taking the more high quality approach to uploads like WhatCD did.
Xanax.rip (soon to be Apollo.rip)
Was open sign ups a few days ago, currently no more invites. They will be giving 1 invite to users with 15+ uploads. Easier to get on here if you know someone.
>>744940
They should put it all on public trackers. That is the only way it won't be lost for ever.
>>744899
There is a new tracker that has about 6k what refigees rebuilding. no word on invites but they are accepting BTN extreme and high level ptp members. check your forums for info
>>747192
Or he could join Apooloo
Public trackers will die in your lifetime.
>>747380
Torrents will die in our lifetime.
Internet might very much die in our lifetime.
It all is irrelevant now.
>>744899
Who gives a shit OP
>>749497
No one, so why do you bump the thread?
Use sage next time, because it's what it is here for.
>>749506
Seconding and saging :^)
>>745193
Hmm, I seem to be stuck on 95.6%.
I haven't got any progress for a few days now.
>>750730
I removed the torrent from my client, fixed a lot of tags and stuff. If you want I create a new libary share for you. It's 376GB of music now, all with correct tags and folder images.
FUCKLSASDFSHJIOASDASDasd, As j90
>>751893
That would be nice.
>>752692
http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/KB6QAYXI/file.html
395GB, It's best to delete all old files, a lot of tag changes that modify the hash.

can we get someone with 100% to seed for a little while?
>>752961

Is Soulseek still on the go? (if so, is it still as good as it was ~10 years ago?)
>>752985
Thank you
>>745772
>friends
My sides!
>>745445
>bakabt of music
Except bakabt is shit and doesn't have licensed content? Not to mention the moderators often pick inferior releases.
>>752864 this NEEDS SEEDS PLEASE!!!
i'm dling this and the 200something gb version at the same time but this one is muuuuch slower; and you said its better so now im sad!
>>752988
yea soulseek is still alive and kicking. why don't you try it out for yourself? it has a lot of content.
>>753680
I'm recreating the torrent now. Sorry for the inconvenience. I had to change some tags again and replace a few files. Since the folder is also my libary, theres a lot of change.
Will update the new torrent in a few hours, you can just put it in your old dir. I will seed from three clients probably. I only had like 110GB traffic on rTorrent, the last one had 2+TB it's weird.
>>753680
>>753969
>>753989
Here's the new one with more content, better folder naming and fixed tags.
Seeding from rTorrent, adding to deluge right now.

I don't like his stuff but my girlfriend listens to him sometimes.
>>755636
Damn, that's a nice collection. Maitres Gims is definitely a nice touch. Too bad no Black M. Either way, will probably seed indefinitely once I get my seedbox up again.

>bookmarked a ton of obscure albums I had been searching for years and was going to download on Christmas
>wcd shuts down
it was one of the worst days in my life desu. I haven't found them elsewhere.
>>761680
You haven't made it to apooloo or PTH?
>>761778
Not him, but nope. Don't have the connections I used to years back. Most of what I had or what I did stemmed from being on Something Awful decently early on, when they still had hidden forums for files. Lucked out again later that year when WTSnacks asked if I wanted to help moderate some new site called 4chan. Over the years, more and more places were shut down and people slipped away from me.
The feeling is pretty similar to trying to find weed/drugs when you are 30+ and all your friends don't have what they used to. I've been so lucky to be in the right place at the right time, which crippled me in the "Well, how do I make connections now?" department.
>>761829
https://interviewfor.red/en/index.html
I joined what via the interview. It's not hard if you look at the stuff!
>>761916
Bookmarking that shit, I need to fill the void.
It's a long shot but fuck me for trying. Anyone wanna go through the awful process of inviting me? Please god?
>>762258
Nobody will do that because inviting an anonymous person means a disabled account.
The interview is easy to take.
>>762258
the problem is no one is gonna trust some rando. access to some of these trackers is way to difficult to gamble your account on that.
your best bet is making good friends with people who are already on them.
bought and traded accounts WILL get found out so dont bother with that.
>>762268
Do you need to have ratio proof from other private trackers before trying the interview?
Well for anyone trying to give into something new.

sign up for a semi private tracker until you get a good ratio, and get an invite from the forums. I used BakaBT
>>762956
It's legit.

I've been looking for a platform like that for quite a long time now. Such a pain that there weren't any valid code left when I checked it out.
Well, i'll still thank you for the discovery, and will manage to access it somehow.
