+1 As far as I know ipod doesn't play FLAC, so Pedro's wouldn't be much use to you.
Also Waffles is very good.
Mind you, that these aren't scene trackers, so if you're looking for the newest stuff, you're gonna wait a while there. I don't know any good scene music trackers atm.

Well, if you have the lossless source, you can convert to any format you want, that's the advantage of it. Converting from a lossy format to another however implies an audible loss of quality.
He / she could even convert .flac to the Apple lossless format, which is supported by the iPod, without any loss of quality.

maybe i will go for what and pedros. What has amazing content, and is easier to seed than in Waffles.
Pedros is flac heaven , and is an easy, very tracker to seed on

How can you get into what.cd and waffles? Only invite only?

Yes. Invite only.

If you are knowledgable about encoding, different audio compression algorithms, have basic bittorrent knowledge, and are registered on a few other private trackers (with good / acceptable ratio I assume), you could try your luck in the interview for a What.cd invite:
http://whatinterviewprep.webs.com/
Even if you are not knowledgable, all you need for the interview can be found on that site.
Be forwarned though, the interview is rather thorough, and especially for newbies in that area, not exactly a piece of cake. Either know your stuff, or be well prepared.

Use Demonoid until you can get into What/Waffles(and even after you do). It's a very underrated tracker for music.
shipwreck
05-11-2009, 05:11 PM
I agree, Demonoid is really underrated when it comes to music. Found some old / rare electronic music there that is not even on TT.
btmusic ftw !!! FLAC rox !!

What.CD is right now the best music tracker.
510,000 torrents while waffles has only half of that.
I think in terms of all the statistics What is beating every music tracker + they have beautiful layout and nice navigation, useful artist search and some other interesting options. It's simply the best. In other words you won't find a better place.
Not to mention that they uploaded almost 15,000 100% accurate FLAC albums in just a week. - this is how much torrents have well established trackers that specialize in FLAC - and they are around for many years..

By far What.CD is my favorite. Waffles has been pretty good at filling any gaps What does not have in their collection that I've looked for, but doesn't have nearly as good of organization as What does.
What also has some pretty good extras, such as auto-LOG file scoring, cross-listed contributing artist lists for compilations, artist pages, etc.
But Waffles has a cooler name so it gets bonus points there. =)

What.Cd for my general needs and Db9 for dubstep are my favorites.
But i still search for a house and techno tracker!

I'm so prescient... I knew this thread was destined for pages upon pages of single sentence posts. :P
Honestly, there is no best music tracker. There can be one that's best for you, but technically it's not possible to name one the best overall. It depends on many factors, especially for what you're seeking. For example, if you're into mostly obscure indie music IndieTorrents is best. Looking for DnB? DB9 is best. Personally I find it useful to have a mix of all sorts of different music sites. Of course most people have different preferences, so they need different trackers.
Honestly, there is no best music tracker.
yes, you are right 100%, cause it's a dead for about year&half

And that sums it up. It's all about opinion. For some just a scene music tracker is best, to others a specialized lossless tracker is best.
For me it's a combination of several trackers. Something like Demonoid, Torrents.ru, What/Waffles, and the three lossless trackers is what I use. Not to mention other methods like Soulseek and warez forums.

There have been loads of comments by so many people. I will try to summarize what they said :P
What.cd is the biggest tracker for music lovers. It has the largest number of artists and albums, and ofc, 95,000 registered users with close to 500,000 torrents between them. They have recently expanded their collection of 100% FLACs.
What.cd is being closely followed by Waffles. Its easier to put it this way, if its not on waffles, you can try your luck with What.cd , and vice versa. These two trackers look after the needs of most music lovers.
Moving on, if you listen to a specific genre, there are trackers dedicated to them. Like TT for Trance, DB9 for DnB, LzTr for classical and Jazz and so on.
If you are very particular about the formats you like your music in, Pedro's BTMusic is the best for FLAC. (They have the highest quality rips with equal emphasis on cover art as well). E**** is also another tracker dedicated to FLACs and lossless content.
With that, i would like to add that there is no 'True' winner, when we talk about music trackers in general. Its all about your choices, preferences and tastes.

STm was great but their coders are working on fixing the site. It's 'FLAKY' according to the channel topic.
Their skin needs a little help but not a major concern.

In my opinion what.cd is the best music tracker.

Softmp3 used to be the best. Nowadays it's what or waffles.

i've got waffles and torrentech - waffles is organized and really great, but since im looking for a lot of underground electronica and dubplates, TT has a lot of rare stuff that i love. not to mention they have a great online radio and lots of resident dj's - i hang out in the radio irc all the time!
overall i find that the cats at waffles are a bit elitist and the guys at TT are really chilled out and just there to share tunes and chat :]

i dunno about everything...course i don't have btmusic.
im a huge jungle/dnb/dubhead and theres a lot of old skool jungle that i feel like TT and waffles are lacking. TT specializes a lot in house and tech-house. the day i find an old school dnb/jungle tracker will be the best day ever :]

What.CD + Waffles - Almost every kind of music
TranceBooster + TranceRoute + TranceTraffic - Trance :D
Pedro's BT + E**** - Lossless

For me Elektronik is the best techno tracker with a lot of discographies of techno labels and musicians
And of course Waffles and What are on the top.
n00bz0r
06-08-2009, 03:46 AM
What.cd for mainstream music
LzTr for scores and classical
Pedros used to be my preferred destination for FLACs, but am searching for other alternatives as well.
And ofc TT for Trance. You will never need anything else for that kind of music.

Trancebooster has been DOWN for a very very long time!!
What and Waffles for now. I would put Pedro's BT up but they seem to have their head up their ass atm...that's just my opinion tho. ;)

Iwould have to say that What must be the best music tracker atm, but I´m very keen on trying Pedros. I´m only downloading flac:-)
VipMusic.org for scene, and for waffles.fm for music in general/
TT, tribalmixes, tT too - all for house & techno
