    I don't have any time for assholes like leechasaurus but I had to laugh when you equated knowing about ALAC or such as being the same as knowing about music.
    Not saying that to offend you ben99 it just seems like an odd notion.

    Maybe music is different but I think I know a lot more about movies than most people and I barely know(or care about) the difference between a telecine and a telesyc .

    to me it is, alac is a music format. I guess I'm a quality whore, alac you are right is pretty obscure but is useful if you want your lossless to be compatible with ipods and itunes.

    as for telecine and telesync, theres a big difference between the two in the terms of quality. Telesync is basically a good cam while a telecine is very good quality, basically the same thing as a r5. I wouldn't equate knowing about telesync and telecines as knowing about movies but more about knowing your warez and quality of it.

    Back to your original point, I think that I am indeed wrong to a certain point. Knowing about ALAC and transcodes does equate to knowing about music in the sense of knowing the quality of those music files. I mean I take pride in buying and downloading quality stuff, thats why I probably know so much about all these different formats. I don't think many people have two 300$+ (hd650, pxc 350) sets of headphones with a headphone amp like i do

    Anyways it's still good for people to educate themselves in this before joining a dedicated music tracker like what and waffles who pride themselves on providing high quality rips of music.

    try using soulseek instead.
    This is a good point. If you're deadset on getting music via torrents, have you tried using Demonoid for music? It's also a pretty good site if you're not bothered by all the music tech stuff you skimmed through before your interview. Hell it's a decent site even if you are an audiophile.

    In regards to whatcd and waffles.. I can tell you one thing for sure, whatcd has a great staff administration behind it. whatman is a great guy and someone I personally think very highly of. I can't say as much for waffles. At least whatcd doesn't disable you when the online bf of a staff member requests so, like waffles does

    whatcd just seems more professional I guess. But as always, take what i say with a grain of salt. Just my opinion, and my opinion alone.
    Do not pm me for invites. At the moment I will not be participating here in that regard. I will ignore your pm.

    Thanks a lot for the stats!

    It looks that What is the place to be. So I'll keep trying and will eventually learn enough to pass the interview without bothering reading anything :p

    obviously, you're an idiot. just read and understand what you have to, and take the interview. what's the point of failing multiple times?
