anyone successfully created an account with them? everyone is saying that its the hottest musical torrents site out there...but creating an account is painfully hard. you need to answer a bazillion technical questions about bitrates and formats and what not from their "interviewer" on an IRC chat...fuckin lame...i gave up after 20 minutes because the questions got too technical and i didnt want to study all that stuff because frankly, this has nothing to do with sharing music...all i know is that the higher the bitrate, the higher and the quality, and uncompressed/FLAC is supreme quality...

anyone knows how to easily get an account?
or can anyone send me an invite (are they allowing invites right now?)

You'll just die if you get in anyways, since getting a decent upload on what.cd is ridiculously difficult considering how all they do on there is hoard uploads and no one ever DL's anything for fear of their ratio taking a hit lol.

I believe this may be against What.CD's rules

If you don't want to make the effort to get in, then I guess they don't want you there :p

CSheep is wrong!

They just updated their ratio system, and it isn't as hard to maintain a surviving ratio as people make it out to be. I'm sitting at .23 while my required ratio is 0.19. It's not hard to keep an account alive, but to become a power user or something there is definitely effort required.

They have just about every release possible and the seeding is great.

That's what is good about what.cd

They have a rediculous amount of almost any music. My roommate did it (I watched him as he went through the interview thing and everything) and got in. There hasn't been anything that he hasn't been able to find for me and each song/album has multiple different bit rate formats. They even have a good assortment of Korean music (which I listen to) which surprised me because it's hard to find good quality anywhere else.
As far as I know, there aren't any invites that get you in instantaneously. Seeding is amazing and I would be surprised if you could not find what you are looking for. And if by some chance you can't, you can always request and sometimes/usually someone will be able to upload it.

In short, it is well worth it if you can get in but don't just be a leecher. Actively seed 24/7 (which isn't very difficult) and you should be fine.

I had lztr, and found it also to be sadly lacking. Apparently they consider film music to be classical >_> Then my account got disabled from inactivity. Rage lol. I'll see if I can get reactivated at some point.

I just use like...random sites + DC for classical now.

I mean, what.cd is still good, and it has the added bonus of being a private site so you probably won't get RIAA owned for anything. It's just really hard to get in + kind of a pain to maintain a ratio on a site where almost no one downloads.

The interview is pretty easy and they give you all the information you need.

Can't you get plenty of pirate classical in China? Last time I went to Shanghai I bought home some 300+ CD's/DVD's. Lots of OOP stuff too.

I actually was on both what.cd and waffles.fm but I got kicked off waffles for inactivity. I had trouble seeding because uTorrent was crashing and couldn't seed files. The site is really useful but its not as good as oink. It has become easier to get and maintain a ratio though. I think I am in the same boat as fragkrag atm with around a .23

I have an account on What. It's the best tracker that you'll find for music, miles beyond what Waffles can ever amount to. I cherish my account like no other, and I have been for over a year.

In relation to your blog post, I don't think you will get in judging by what you said about the interview. Even if you were to miraculously get in, I don't really think you would be a good user. What is not for everyone, and that's putting it lightly.

Interview? What interview? I got in by invite.
edit: Wow, I googled it. What an elitist thing to do, but I guess they justify it for the sake of quality and the survival of the community.

And it's completely Bureaucratic as people like me can get in solely by being invited. While, people with no connections have to go through all that trouble.
