Best site ever forsure, i dont know what i would do without it. once u seen the light of What.cd u can never go back

And if u cant get ur ratio up just download EVERY free leach there is if u have the harddrive space it will really add up and grow ur ratio if ur lazy to upload anything or have nothing to upload

Also, if you have the harddrive space, download every single different format available too for the freeleeches, usually there's FLAC and either 321 or V0 at the least, sometimes even more. Helps out your ratio a lot.

all these music sites are pretty easy to seed on and you don't need a great connection or anything. if you're lazy, all you really have to do is pick up some popular albums or an app like photoshop or something and seed 24/7 and then be patient. or just get top10 access and jump on hot torrents before they are seeded well. i have >2.5 ratio on what and waffles (and oink when it existed) without very much effort

wow, can't believe this interview process for what.cd.

i've been a waffles user for over a year, and pretty happy with it. i have some extra invites, but it might be a few weeks before i can send them.

what is the appeal of a site like this over using google to search for mediafire/megaupload files

Quality.
Rare albums that are difficult to find.
And plenty more I'm sure. But those are just my top 2.
Plus I enjoy sharing my own music with others. Getting a simple 'thank you' is so satisfying. xD

Basically that's the only pros compared to a traditional rapidshare/megaupload community or even public trackers. I really wouldn't say there was anything else. What.CD is great at finding rare or obscure stuff. Take this for an example, I wanted to download some albums from an Argentinian band called Miranda! I checked isohunt.com and thepiratebay to no avail. I popped in that name on what.cd and got a hit for an album and downloaded it.

As said What.CD allows you to choose quality ranging from FLAC to MP3(192 or 320) and other types of quality that I can't explain, because I don't know what they are.

Random question. I usually download MP3-320. Should I go for FLAC or is there hardly a difference?


lol Miranda hahahah

I don't understand that kind of elitist ideology at all. I guess it works for what they want out of it.

I've always wanted an account in these communities, but after reading the posts in this thread, I'm satisfied with Demonoid. I don't even know why I wanted to use anything but Demonoid. It's pretty easy to find any somewhat popular albums on there, and in plenty of different qualities. And it's not so Nazi-ish with its rules.

Demonoid is (or was pre-downtime) better for classical IMO.

i'm really intrigued to see if What.CD has better content than Soulseek. if it does, then it's definitely the shiznit.


one thing that requires clarification here is how are they able to provide such ridiculous content while putting mad restrictions on who can be a part of the community?! Logic tells me that more users ==> more uploads ==> more seeding ==> more content ^.^

More users, more uploads, more seeding, and more content is not necessarily good. They want quality users, who create quality uploads, with fast uploading, and thus encouraging high quality content.

For example, I'm sure PirateBay has more content than Demonoid. But I don't want to sift through 100's of pages worth of useless, seedless torrents with incorrect names, passwords, etc.

My key to a killer upload on what is downloading live shows from bands I like currently on tour (e.g. livedownloads.com) and then uploading them.

I buy the FLAC so I can transcode to v0 and upload that as well. If I feel I can get more out of it I'll transcode a V2 and 320 as well.

People complaining about ratio just don't get it. I buy music that isn't on the site, I give back to the community. In return, the community gives back, with great rips, multiple formats and a large userbase on which I can get new music suggestions. I get to spend money supporting my favorite artists and discover new music and genres.

What.cd is fantastic and I hope for the site that it continues to draw quality users who give back to the community. It's what makes what so fantastic!

Yeah I have what.cd.

Except for the super-hard ratio aspect, it's a kick ass site. You can basically find ANYTHING here in any genre.

I miss Oink where my ratio was ~40. At what.cd it's like 0.25 or something.

Only go for FLAC if you can afford the ratio. The files are a lot bigger but the difference in quality is huge. It really depends how good your sound system is though.

The only purpose of FLAC is to give the user a choice of what they want to encode to. Which is actually really important IMO, because it's not inconceivable that there will be better, more efficient formats in the future.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I said that I only upload albums I own.

You know, I never thought about that. Kinda wish I didn't just encode my entire flac collection into v0 last week now, re-ripping all those albums is going to suck.

RIP and best of luck to Alan Ellis.

There are a ton of very good private trackers out there with a wide variety of content from video games to HD movies to music. If you are willing to put in effort to be a contributing member of their communities, I definitely recommend looking into it.
