What.CD or Waffles

[snakebite]

Ok my question is Who do u like and use and why?

What.CD or Waffles

[danio]

What.CD because:

First and foremost, Gazelle! And they've more users, more content, more seeders.

<3 What

[waeldiab]

i don't like both of them.coz i cant find what i needed there

[danio]

i don't like both of them.coz i cant find what i needed there

[Adama]

[users]

[waeldiab]

i don't like both of them.coz i cant find what i needed there

are you sure you were searching for music? :blink:


Yes m sure... 100%:D

i know that is (What.CD & Waffles) for music... i know that its not a supermarket..;)
but i did not find the type of my music.. and one more thing Pretime. thats about me about the CD and Waffles... i jus dont like both.

[silvercool]

I used to use Oink was the best out there now I have none :(

[fisherman]

What ever floats your boat :) What.cd floats mine though :D

[jukesta]

what starts with g and ends with e and runs at 50mph is my answer.

[ksauron]

what.cd definitely the best..:D

[hotshot6473]

Just use both as they have many of the same stuff but different rippers.

[kondrae]

what.cd

[1000possibleclaws]

They both apparently suck in heavy metal.

I wouldn't overrate one when comparing though, because very often one of trackers will have a proper v0 (or flac) rip and the other won't, which is important for people who care alot about music quality. Sometimes one of the trackers will just plain out not have the album. I only use what.cd as my first choice because I have more buffer when compared to waffles. At this point in time it's still worth having and using both if you like more than just mainstream music.

I'm gonna assume waeldiab is referring to the 'DJ genres', cause TT and elektronik have good pre's on 0day material, and a bigger backcatalogue to choose from

[Nemrod]

What.cd. No doubt about that.

[Eargasm]

They both apparently suck in heavy metal.


Which is exactly why I made a thread here not too long ago asking about metal trackers. I've found that Rockbox is pretty decent, at least, for Power Metal varieties.

Likewise, even mainstream French, Russian, Spanish, and other foreign music can be hard to find there. That is where torrents.ru and ethor have come in handy - never did find a suitable tracker for Spanish music to be honest.

Besides all that, I'd have to say that overall what.cd is my favorite music tracker. It has the best variety all around - and of course the Gazelle interface is beautiful. However, waffles is pretty damn awesome too - they've got a decent selection and are always adding new features to the site.

I'm grateful to have such awesome libraries at my fingertips.

[1000possibleclaws]

i was thinking of reinstalling soulseek, but yeah, i might give rockbox another shot first.
I used to use it mostly for grindcore and death metal. I know it's public and doesn't always have great quality rips, but i haven't really come across a good place for heavy metal, and last time i used RMT it didn't impress.

[kukushka]

they both suck, that's true ) downloaded there oasis single box in flac with no logs, binary content differs in some songs comparing between those trackers.. :(
what.cd has more content but it's a mess when looking closer..
and they're far from perfection if you have just a bit non-average musical taste.. for example, there's almost no french chanson there... yeah, i know, teenagers hardly listen to that but... i do )sadfsdfasdf

..staff seems to be more friendly at what, i think that when on waffles post could issue a warning, on what the same post would get a reply from staff with something like that "oh no, follow the rules please, it's not that hard )"

[aaatoel]

I have to disagree with T.S.O.L. right here! I think that waffles in particular has a great collection of metal. And some very rare stuff I 've never seen anywhere else. There are very few things I have searched and not found. Though, I am not into grindcore or death metal as you say and I don't know if there are so many torrents in these two specific categories but in general I think that its collection is great! Added to this, I prefer waffles over what because I have found so many friendly people there and their forums are a nice place to hang around! :)

[db_la_23]

i like what.cd becoz its easier to seed there

[PunX]

what.cd is the best for sure

[murky]

waffles doesn't even come close to comparing to what.

[bassam12]

what.cd is the best but i dont like it

[klink05]

what.cd hands down. from files to peers to asthetic appeal, what.cd wins. when you throw in gazelle, it's not even a competition.
that being said, waffles is still a great site, but since gazelle was released, what.cd has simply become my defacto music site

I think you misunderstood me, because I was only talking about their heavy metal collection. I've found pretty much every other metal album I've wanted on what and waffles. I'm not even talking about obscure heavy metal bands that noone ever really listened too. 'Saxon' for example has ONLY flac albums on waffles. 'Angel Witch' has that 1 album which was mentioned in their heavy metal article and that's it (http://www.waffles.fm/article.php?id=34). There are no 'Praying Mantis' albums either..
I could keep going, but you get the point. They have most of the major discographies (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest..), and they probably have some rare heavy metal albums as well, but it's still missing a lot compared to their other genres.

[aaatoel]

Oh, I see now what you are talking about. Yes, that is unfortunate indeed! Although, I really love FLAC so I don't mind about the Saxon thing :P But I totally understand you. Sure there are staff that are missing and Praying Mantis is an apparent example but I have found there so MANY rare stuff that I heven't found ANYWHERE else that I still love the site.

[`Dr. Nick Riviera`]

I have both and I prefer what much more...

[john legend]

what.cd is the best but i dont like it

that's normal you've been banned balto09 :p

[Daniel]

what.cd is without a doubt the leading music tracker.

Back when both what and waffles were the most promising oink successors, I thought waffles might have the upper hand because its community looked more promising, professional and most of all: more active. That all changed when gazelle was revealed and since then the tracker hasn't stopped growing yet. Up to 2 million peers with 60k users is amazing, even the pirate bay public tracker had "only" 15 mio recently.

[lukee]

what.cd

[punki_rach]

well what.cd has more torrents, but quality is more strictly enforced at waffles. But they're both great communities, so if I had to pick one I wouldn't know which to choose

[anjelik]

I like both.

[john legend]

i already know Sylar666... Take a look at this now..!

[Mogwai_]

I got both but I use waffles much more and prolly because I was on waffles first.

[midapool]

of course what.cd

[kukushka]

I got both but I use waffles much more and prolly because I was on waffles first.
exactly, it's a very strong motif when choosing your "homeland".

[MAX011]

waffles do the job

[zxion]

I have both, and I use what.cd all the time.

[wazza100]

what :O

[athenaesword]

what seems to be better organized. and it's got way more format variety cus of the layout, which makes it easier for people to identity which formats are lacking for particular albums and encode/upload them.

[colbert]

I like what.cd more. They have better numbers of seeders, users, content and speeds. Waffles is trying to to be elite and this bothers me somewhat.

[Channer]

I got both but I use waffles much more and prolly because I was on waffles first.

Yeah same, only reversed lol, i was at what.cd first and i love it :D

[Feeling]

waffles <3

[kukushka]

waffles <3
you know, your feelings toward waffles are more platonic that those from HDbits & Firon. he made an unlimited invite offer for waffles power users and you did not :lol:

[darknetty]

Incorrect. There are Waffles invites available on ScT.

[niggytardust]

He meant the other way around, as is in ther are no ScT invites on waffles.

[cocalait]

Both trackers are great. However, every time I want a specific CD I look on what first.

[Scavenger]

Both.

[randomworries]

what gazelle rulz teh planet!!1!

[bebytza]

Waffles..

[jorgededeus]

Waffles :P

[Dithersky]

waffles :D

[DuDutchy]

What.cd

Great staff, more torrents, more peers and better design/source.
Ir covers my needs and I absolutely LOVE it.

I have both What and Waffles btw.

[predateur]

waffles <3
you know, your feelings toward waffles are more platonic that those from HDbits & Firon. he made an unlimited invite offer for waffles power users and you did not :lol:

$$$ , 20€ the invite , the factory will be down if he do it LOL

i like waffles better then what :)

[Snefclarb]

What.cd for me. I think Gazelle handles the organisation so well. It's also incredibly well designed.

[perigoso]

Since I have only what.cd, there is no chance that I choose waffles.

[MAX011]

since i have both of them i choose waffles
