Stmusic is opening up user uploads both scene and user encoded mp3's.

First in regard to Soulseek: of course there are advantages to the torrent method of filesharing, thus a client like slsk will lack in some areas. The "variable length" of songs you mentioned can at least sometimes be explained by mislabeled music and I've more than often found some gem or live version that way. Back when I still used Soulseek, I loved the idea of themed rooms because you'll find users with similar interests to yours and their shared folders sometimes have gems you wouldn't have thought of searching for. So not everything is negative

While the poll on the main page looks impressive (67% of 3766 users voted that yes, they were oink users and just signed up there) on paper, there's little to suggest that STMusic is anything more than an established and good scene music tracker. Maybe that will change in time but for now, the tracker is not much different from filemp3 or other standard scene-music trackers. That's not really what oink was popular for

Theres a ton to suggest it. It has a 60,000 users and they are opening up user uploads. So not only does it have decent scene stuff but people will be able to upload their already downloaded scene albums and home made rips.

The next closest to size has 20,000 users.

User upload have been added.

**Probability** · 10-25-2007, 07:17 PM

62,000 users and 300 user uploaded torrents in half a day. 14,000 scene torrents too.

Its officially the new oink.

2007-10-25 - A new server has been ordered to cope with the new unexpected increased userbase and deal with the 500 errors, it should be provisioned sometime next week. Thank you for your patience.
