Scene Music Tracker like SoftMP3 needs to be emerged

[SaviouR]

Biggest blow in the recent shutdowns IMHO has been the shutdown of SoftMP3 which was Possibly the best Scene MP3 Tracker with excellent content and pretty good pre-times as well .

Even tho What and Waffles are there to cover almost everything , there is a void in the Scene MP3 Tracker department now .

STMusic had the chance to step up to become the no.1 MP3 Tracker which it did not really grab the chance during the Oink Shutdown . the shutdowns has again indirectly given them a seond chance to renovate themselves and lift themselves again , but i really doubt they will be able to do it . FileMP3 retention is pretty poor and contents are pretty less .

Music Torrent sites What and Waffles are similar to RevTT and IPtorrents in a way that all 4 have a huge database of scene and non-scene contents . but now , what the torrent scene lacks is a pure Scene MP3 site like SoftMP3 . An uncluttered , No-Nonsense Pure Scene MP3 Tracker .

of course i do understand that this may not be the best time to open a torrent site due to the legal hassles , but when Oink when down What and Waffles emerged .

Lets hope a Solid Pure Scene Mp3 Tracker emerges in the recent future to cover the void left by the fantastic SoftMP3 Tracker .

[shipwreck]

I agree. A (temporary?) workaround are some of the better 0-day trackers, which usually have a very good and complete scene mp3 section.

STMusic seems to be more down than not unfortunately. A pity really.

[Hiccup]

Yeah, I complete agree. Actually, softmp3 wasn't the only blow. Let's not forget about mp3nerds, which was very similar as an all scene tracker.

[ben99]

just use the mp3 section at scc.

[primevil]

There are plenty of sources for 0day mp3's.

[shipwreck]

Sure, but are there many quality bittorrent trackers dedicated to scene mp3s? If yes, I'd like to hear a few names, other than the ones mentioned already, of course.

The retention at SCC does not compare at ALL to softmp3.

I doubt VIPMusic will ever be able to match softmp3's 1/3 download count and still have 25k+ torrents. They sell upload FFS, but I can't think of any decent alternatives... I'm gonna miss softmp3 and it's awesome community. :cry:

The only thing I can think of that comes close would be something like warez-bb, but that is rapidshare.

Thanks for bringing that up. I had actually forgotten that as an option, and I think I might go back to using that on occasion. \

Everyone should keep in mind that Soulseek is a great alternative to torrenting for music. I'd still prefer to get 0day music from a reputable tracker because of possible initial dupes and transcodes but for older releases (which is what made softmp3 so awesome) slsk gets the job done well.

[locodice]

itune is okay :P

[waterloo]

Dang, what a blow. It was without doubt the best scene tracker out there. No other site even comes close. You get new releases everywhere but none have archive section for older scene mp3 releases. :(

[suner]

SCC and HT (HeavenTracker.org) - all 0Day mp3's releases :)

[patiesmiz]

There was no music scene tracker that can compare to softmp3, its archive category was just awesome.
It has been a great loss, it was the best site for scene music releases by far, I am missing it a lot.
In fact I don't know any tracker of scene releases specialized in music (besides Filemp3, but it's for new stuff, only, since there's no archive category there), STMusic was something like that in the past but that didn't last, the site changed and it turned into another general music tracker.




Lets hope a Solid Pure Scene Mp3 Tracker emerges in the recent future to cover the void left by the fantastic SoftMP3 Tracker .

[james223]

At the moment the SCC mp3 section and TranceRoute is fine for me regarding scene mp3 as I prefer this genre.
http://www.0daymusic.org/ is pretty good for direct downloads.

[cinephilia]

http://www.0daymusic.org/ is pretty good for direct downloads.
unfortunately, uploaded.to doesn't offer decent speeds.

[VinX]

lol .. i used SCC mp3/0day page for mp3downloads ..

[Sanka113]

SCC's scene release page is pretty good but I do wish it was sortable by genre.

[james223]

Yeh this is probably the one thing that it lacks.

[0Ri0N]

Im with patiesmiz, the inexistence of trackers with a scene archive section like softmp3 for music and SweDVDr for movies that's the major hole in the BT scene actually! :(

[patiesmiz]

Best thing on Scc, besides the good speeds, is that the MP3 torrents are freeleech.
Filemp3 is sortable by genres, and it is open registration. Very good site.
But what I am missing the most is the Archive category softmp3 used to have.

i think that SCC has a awesome mp3 page ... lots of mp3 upped just after scene .. but the problem is that its not organised properly ,,, imo

[djerholler69]

I like stm, but it needs to be more stable with the uptime ;(

Plus the search function sucks, and retention isn't really good as a music tracker (although it's pretty good for a 0day tracker)

[Cabalo]

curious no one talks about filemp3.
sure... retention sucks.

In v2 they will categorize into genres.

[waterloo]

Are HT and TV ever open for signup?

[SaviouR]

HT used to be an open tracker last year , or atleast used to be open in between for signups . not sure which TV tracker your referring to .

[shipwreck]

curious no one talks about filemp3.
sure... retention sucks.

Basically answered your question yourself. FileMP3 is old school, and I'm glad it still is around, but due to TTL, the retention is rather limited.

[0Ri0N]

Join HT irc channel and ask for an invite. At TV u should know someone with an invite.
Great mp3 scene uploaders btw!!

[patiesmiz]

curious no one talks about filemp3.


Look at seven post above yours:


Best thing on Scc, besides the good speeds, is that the MP3 torrents are freeleech.
Filemp3 is sortable by genres, and it is open registration. Very good site...

[dr0w]

maybe you could start to actually pay for your music :rolleyes:?

only if its cheap than soda ...

[Excons]

I still think softmp3 was great , it catagorised best mp3s of the week , album of the week and was clean cut and great speeds miss it.

No need to do something rash.

STMusic is back up again if needed

well...STMusic kinda sucks....always down and shit and their archive is not that great

[patiesmiz]

There are 15 torrents on the Archive category, only, so I'd say it's practically unexistant.

STM was a good tracker some years ago, though, when it was scene only.

[SPY]

Music-Torrents.ro is a great music tracker ;))

[ashford]

Nowadays the best scene only music tracker is certainly vipmusic. It has all that softmp3 had and even more. New members are coming all the time and the site activity rises. They have free leech on MVID and MDVDR categories. Oh, and almost forgot, the best thing about vipmusic are huge and amazing collections you won't be able to find anywhere else.

[shipwreck]

Is Vipmusic strictly scene, and does it have a good archive? It's invite only I suppose?

[n00bz0r]

scene-project..scene music tracker is required. (source code available)
any ideas? :p

just a suggestion though :lol:

[Lovestoned]

Seriously?

Get some V0 from What for the love of Jupiter.

[patiesmiz]

I would also like to know if it has a good Archive sortable by genres like the Softmp3 one.

2305 torrents in archive section, and yes, they are sortable by genre.
15156 scene only torrents in tracker.

[Floydian]

Here's an Screenshot of VipMusic to those who want to see what the tracker is like:
http://i43.tinypic.com/2yn33up.jpg

They don't have an Archive section, but the have Collection (discography) section, with ~120 torrents. It's a good site, they have many releases there.

[siire_gazel]

I think STMusic has a good archive.

[digitalism]

actually they do have an archive section. all torrents are shown on browse.php, but you can click either 'new' or 'archived' as seen in the screenshot above.

[meszi]

Filemp3.org?:shifty:

Has anyone tried it? It's kinda great scene-mp3 tracker.


Seriously?

Get some V0 from What for the love of Jupiter.

If you ask me, I prefer V0 too, but there are things that are only available in scene format.

[patiesmiz]

Are they sortable by genre?

EDIT:

I am in already

The site can't be compared to Softmp3 though, and I am unable to sort the torrents by genre on Archive category :(

-------------------
Scc seems to me better that VIPM for music.

VIPMusic:

14.540 torrents (mp3) sortable by genre.

531 video torrents
-----------

SCC:

13.367 torrents (mp3), all of them freeleech, non sortable by genres

1.417 music video torrents, all of them freeleech
--------------------

So whoever has an SCC account won't miss much

[ashford]

In case you haven't noticed there are nice collections on vipmusic and some contain even a hundred+ releases.

Anyway, so far i'd say it's the best general scene music tracker out there. Probably comparing to softmp3 they only have half of the content, but I believe sooner or later they will get there.

Speeds are very good, pre times are just awesome, mvids and mdvdrs are free and as the staff over there mentioned already, they're thinking about some bonus system (actually some time ago, so i guess it might happen soon).

Once again, if you don't have an account over there, now might be you chance. Before it's too late, before they set a user limit (unless there's one already, which i don't seem to be able to find).

[patiesmiz]

Seeding bonuses would be a good idea, since to have a good ratio does not seem to be so easy on VIPM.
About music collections, there are some nice ones and Discographies on TorrentBytes, also, (253 torrents on Music packs) that are ratio free. There's no invite system there and it seems they open reg when some acounts are pruned, it's a good option since they have a good amount of Music torrents and the ratio does not seem to be prob.

The combo Scc, Filemp and TorrentBytes is the best one for music scene releases Imo, athough a decent Archive like the Softmp3 used to have is what I miss the most

The TL daily packs are alright. I use a combination of VIPM and SCC. Serves me well.

This sounds weird / suspicious to say at least. Or just very unprofessional.

[patiesmiz]

The site is back

[n00bz0r]

looks more like a phishing attempt.
fill the details in the signup page, and click submit ---> Sorry Pal ;(

suggest you guys wait for some time before taking the plunge. Loads of trackers open everyday, most of them can compromise your other accounts.
Refrain from using the same passwords on all trackers.

[djerholler69]

on the site, they said they will be introducing invites, so stay tuned :)

[SaviouR]

yup , looks like it was open only for a day it seems . too bad many of us missed the opportunity to get in at that time .

[Excons]

Yeah wouldve liked to join aswell. shame. softmp3 was the bomb even though i dont speak the language , it was still easy and great layout with great releases.

[james223]

VIPM is great atm.
Good to see some scene mp3 sites coming up.

[Paracetamol]

Refrain from using the same passwords on all trackers.

If you're ignorant enough to do that, then you deserve whatever happens to your accounts. People who don't understand the most basic concepts of account security shouldn't be allowed to use the internet. Period.

It indeed is 1:1 copy of softmp3, which is a good thing, because that site has been missed, as discussed earlier. More power to them, hopeflly it will become a worthy successor with time.

[Paracetamol]

If someone needs a new password, just open Notepad, bang your hand or forehead on the keyboard, copy, paste. You can't screw this up without actually trying to.

For sure the best scene only music tracker around right now.

vipm is the best, but maybe scenesound , in time, will catch up with softmp3, which would be a great thing!
