Best Scene MP3 tracker?

[SKGunners]

What's the best scene MP3 tracker nowadays? I heard STMusic, VIPMusic, and this new tracker SceneSound is good. So which would you guys recommend. I'm specifically looking for older scene releases like Flight of the Conchords - The Distant Future EP-RTB. I don't mean like really old scene releases, I mean scene releases till at least 2007. Thanks in advance.

[erts]

I think STMusic

[patiesmiz]

The Archive on STMusic is practically unexistant. If you're interested in old scene releases VIPMusic is quite good (invite only), and SceneSound seems promising, unless you are from one of the countries that have been banned from the site, in that case you won't be able to register an account.

[RedRansom]

scc for sure

[sez]

^^What she said together with warez forums for the old stuff.

[ovisan]

filemp3 imo...

[ashford]

Filemp3 and STmusic are very much overrated. Both are practically dead. SCC has only new stuff. Scenesound is new, so there's not much in there. Best option for now is certainly VIPmusic with around 20'000 torrents, fast pre times on new stuff, archive growing, free on mvid and mdvdr.

[ovisan]

Sorry ashford (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/ashford-165484) mate, Im not a member of VIPmusic tracker so I don't know if its better than filemp3 or not and to be honest I dont really care, but I think you were rush when you said taht filemp3 is dead. Wit cca 1.900 well seeded music albums(on the 1st page the best seeded torrent has 50 seeders) they only bring in the new stuff and don't have an archive section, decent pretimes also. Works brilliant wit what.cd :)

[patiesmiz]

Filemp3 is great for new releases, but you won't find old ones there cos those are removed fast.
And Scc (general tracker) is very good for new ones and there are lots -plus music torrents are freeleech-, there are some old releases (2008 and 2009), but just a few ones. The prob is that getting invites is almost impossible

VIPMusic is a good option and has an Archive (2.580 torrents), although they are not sortable by genre.

SceneSound has more stuff, tho (2.784 torrents on Archive) and they are sortable by genre. And lots of torrents are being added every day since the site is quite new.

So I'd say that SceneSound is the best option for you.

[brento]

Scenesound is a great new one!

[Lucifer9999]

vipmusic atm, no doubt!!

[ashford]

There are still some torrents from over half year on vip which don't know why aren't in archive section yet. Not to mention older stuff. Overall with almost 20k torrent vipmusic is the winner and will be for a long, long time. Not to mention collections (some even have 200+ releases), which you won't find on other music sites, best pre times and many more. Just find an invite and see for yourself.

[Lemonade]

vipmusic ofc torrents increasing for every day and free leech on mvids/mdvdr

[mewithoutyou]

vipmusic is the best if you ask me

[Funkin']

Vipmusic sounds pretty good. I may have to check it out myself.

Anyways, I think Scenesound is doing pretty great. Already over 4,000 torrents in like a weeks time. Not too bad.

[james223]

SCC and VIPM

STMusic not overrated as a source of scene music. It is not the best around, but it is not a bad source. I hardly ever hear it mention positively in this forum .

[patiesmiz]

STM was the best site for scene music releases by far some years ago -when it was scene, only- and it used to have a very good Archive, but when it turned into another general music tracker the site changed and now it's diff

[codec]

I would like to ask the same question, but especially for 0day breakbeat/electro stuff. Anyone know a good tracker which is also open?
(or irc which would be great too ;) )

[shipwreck]

Scenesound has the potential to become a worthy successor to Softmp3, and hence be the best scene mp3 tracker of them all. If they only would get rid of that nonsense "global ban"...

VIPMusic, from my limited experience there, looks pretty good also. But hardly anyone is leeching anything it seems, and hence seeding should be rather difficult. Maybe they should implement a bonus system to encourage (long term) seeding and leeching, like a recent poll there suggested.

[SKGunners]

Thanks God, Thailand is not in the banned country list. But I can't sign up as it has reached the user limit and I heard there's no invites. So I guess I'll have to wait up on SceneSound. I'm really interested in that but I guess STMusic and VIPMusic which I got from two very generous guys here in FST will do me for now.

[sake]

The problem with VIPmusic and the techno and house sections is that the total downloads are maximum 4 ... 5. How i am supposed to maintain a good ratio? :)

Very common picture - downloaded 3 times, seeders : 4 :)

Very good situation :)

That is why i don`t like it.

Actually both new and archive sections are sortable by genre, you just have to enter the corresponding url manually. (ie add &new=1 or &arch=1 to the end of the url)

Have you tried using your freebies? Hopefully as more members become active it will be easier to seed. There's alot of zombies considering softmp3 is gone and hardly anything is being uploaded at stmusic (when the site is up)

Yes i tried. I wasn`t able to keep it, so ... i found other solutions. I just wanted to express my opinion. I don`t use the tracker actually.

[ashford]

I wasn`t able to keep it, so ... i found other solutions.Like cheat, yeah?

Isn't usenet something for you?

[SKGunners]

Usenet? Heard of it but never cared enough to find out how it works.

[james223]

I got on Scenesound recently. Liking the look of it and it will grow. Already has a decent archieve. Speeds are great for a newish tracker. A Combination of What, TR, SCC, VIPM and Scenesound. Never miss a release.

[nameste]

scenesound and vipmusic is pretty good, but i don't know how is what.cd

[MATEE100]

SceneSound now.It's in its name :)

Try Filemp3, I have found there some new scene releases that had not been posted elsewhere (the old Softmp3, Scc, VIPM, STM, FtN, what and waffles included)

Filemp3 is a very good source for new scene releases, only. It does not have a great amount of torrents, but the reason is that releases older that one week or so are deleted by system.

[darkeingel]

You can also check TSCN ( http://thescene.ro ) it's still freesignup and upping 150-200 torrents / per day (10-15gb of mp3 scene) with good pretimes (<10 minutes.)

[zetah]

STmusic is really good.
FileMP3 gives no invites so yo can't use it if you don't have account access
Goodluck :)

[padre]

scenesound

[kaitracid]

scenesound and waffles is the best

[VinX]

scenesound = old SOFTMP3 .. so its best

[Batu]

what.cd + waffles... if u have these accz, you dont even need another music trackers.

[MATEE100]

scenesound = old SOFTMP3 .. so its best
Not yet.

[$SnoopDo2G$]

ViPMUSiC is still very good in my point of view... been underated :D

[Isabelle]

I don't like scene releases when it comes to music. I like FLAC. :)

[patiesmiz]

I like both, but I prefer to get mp3 albums to have a listen to decide whether to buy them or not.

[MiNiMAL]

scenesound = old softmp3 .. So its best

100% true ! :)

[walderlmca]

for me is libble

[Qlix]

SoftMP3 forever <3
Since that's gone... I would say Scenesound.

[Jezebel]

Agreed.

[jjjajaja]

DB9 is enough for me :)

[F-Sicx]

hell yeah..scenesound is the best new shit out there right now...the sign ups were open a few days ago so i managed to get mine

[patiesmiz]

Libble is not a scene tracker

[bionx]

Filemp3 is the best for 0-day scene....but for last 6 - 9 months it occasionaly goes not very active like its regular activity...there had been times like no new torrents added for couple of days but recently it looks ok and closer to its regular activity...

STmusic is also nice,getting better recently after this server problem

Waffles is overrated imho for both scene and non scene,I know lots of 0-day releases on filemp3 which waffles does not include,anyway waffles is good for old music

Vipmusic is generally based on rock-metal-punk if I dont remember wrong,I used to have Vipmusic acc and if u look for more techno-electronic stuff vipmusic is not enough for you

and havent experienced what.cd yet

[digitalism]

Vipmusic is generally based on rock-metal-punk if I dont remember wrong,I used to have Vipmusic acc and if u look for more techno-electronic stuff vipmusic is not enough for you

well maybe you do remember wrong.. :p

number of torrents:

rock 1247
punk 463
metal 967

techno 2079
electronic 1249
house 5315

total 21617

there's more house, techno and electronic than rock, punk and metal, which is probably because more of it pres, so i wouldn't say it's biased either way. only major thing missing is livesets, which few trackers tend to up unfortunately.

yeah I probably remember wrong or it was different couple of years ago when I had an acc on VIPmusic

btw for livesets I use globalsets and satclubbing :)

oh way back in the day on the original site years ago it was more rock based iirc. but now it covers most genres well. mewithyou was giving out invites in a thread somewhere on fst.

thanks for the tips for livesets. i see both are open signups. before i sign up, are they generally scene releases?

satclubbing is generally scenebased,and also they release nice packs at their packs category and other stuff

globalsets is generally non-scene but its really nice for sets,everyday they add fresh sets

[nthpeter]

I also wanna try a scene music tracker. My music folder seems like a trash because users on Waffles and What name their dirs and songs in very different ways (sometimes no or false ID tags), "Artist - Album", "Artist/Album/", "[Year] Album", "Album", etc... so wmp always rename them or change their ID tags, and i cant seed them anymore. At least scene has rules to maintain some quality in this case, scene releases work fine with wmp.

[Tutela]

why does it have to be scene stuff? whats wrong with sites like waffles and what cd?

[ashford]

In 99% cases scene means quality and such releases you'll find on ViPMusic (a.k.a. VIP) now with over 21,000 torrents with collections which consist of even 100 and more releases. Great community, awesome speeds and pre times.

[digitalism]

well nothing is wrong with waffles and what. i bet i'll get flamed for this, but.. the scene is a standard, so if you use other file sharing methods, dc, ftp, etc you can share scene releases. user rips can only be used the site they are downloaded from and if you see a user sharing random mp3s you have no idea what the quality will be like. personally i find it interesting how a single version of an album can be spread so far around the world and be downloaded so many times. luckily my ears aren't good enough to hear the difference between v2 and v0, let alone flac. plus it's a habit. but of course if i can't find a scene release of an album i want, i'll use waffles.

hey ashford, you seem to be a pretty big fan of vip. are you active in the community there?

[Tutela]

I was jsut wondering why scene was important was all, I dont even know waht v2 and v0 are, I know flac is like lossless, and then theres MP3 but other than htat I havent a clue, surely theres osme sort of quality control ont he likes of what.cd and on waffles?

[cmfstar]

whatcd is the best for me

scene comes with standart quality and correct tagging,also if there are more sceners or scene uploaders in a music tracker that means more 0-day share..as I said before Ive seen lots of 0-day releses on filemp3 which waffles does not include or share a while later...

scene teams,sceners,scene uploaders or what you call are really dedicated and loyal to music scene,they follow always new releases and get earlier albums than a random person,you know sometimes you download albums before its offically released...or movies..

also its good when you share your music at somewhere else

[iLOVENZB]

The scene is life to some. If it's not scene its not worth it.

The scene usually release stuff before p2p groups do, and there are consequences if the release isn't done properly (which is where the childish behavior starts).

right now scenesound seems to have great potential

The review on FSF (http://**************.com/2009/06/02/scenesound-the-new-softmp3-scene-music-tracker/) looks nice. Sadly it's not open for invites any more :pinch:.

[ashford]

right now scenesound seems to have great potentialNot as great as ViPMusic from where btw. scenesound steals releases :lol:

[patiesmiz]

Filemp3 (for new releases you don't find elsewhere), SceneSound (for old ones) and Scc (general scene tracker) is the perfect combo for me.

And for Music Packs, TorrentBytes is great, plus they are ratio free.
