What do you do when you can't find something?

[sixstorm]

I've been looking for a few days for one album but I still can't find it. So I thought, what do the pros around here do when they can't find an album you're looking for?

I know we can't make request in certain sections of the forums, but I thought I would just ask a general question. ;)

[anon]

If I really want the album, I'll keep on checking all resources (music and big general torrent trackers, Warez-BB, eMule, etc.) every now and then to see if it's uploaded. Otherwise, I just forget about it :P

[sixstorm]

I'm about to crack and pay the $8 for the album . . . Oh well lol.

Finally cracked and bought it. :)

[schlappschwanz]

If I really want it I would pay for it, then of course rip it and share it.

[DATTER]

Can not find nowhere? Buy it LOL :P

I stamp my feet and jump up and down :doctor:

[atrwz]

[Cabalo]

My steps usually are:

NZBIndex
warez-bb
demonoid
emule

[QPD]

What.CD/Waffles/VIPmusic or store...

[zonta]

:wank:

[dimtim]

Haha completely opposed to buying stuff now I see.

[cinephilia]

i guess my last step would be to add the album title and artist name in my soulseek wishlist.

[Hiccup]

I feel the pain of the OP, however, I can't even find the specific track for purchase. I'm looking for a specific redone version of a song. It was given away for free through some promotion on myspace with coke, but now I can't find it anywhere, just the original mix of the song. I found a music video of the song, which has been mostly tiding myself over to

[Funkin']

My last step is definitely to purchase. That is if the requests that I've made at the various tracker/forums never got filled.

[freak12345]

i'm a persistent SOB so i keep looking for a file no matter what FS medium i use (file share links, torrent,e-mule, IRC, etc...)... so far it hasn't failed me.. :)

[THEBAR]

I know it's late, but I've found music on SCC and HDtorrents, that was'nt on what or waffles.
However, I do plan on incorporating cabalo"s steps into my search protocols.
It's been a while since I used emule and I'm just getting started with NZB's.

[Jollanda]

I search like crazy on many sites. And if i can´t find it, I´ll go and buy it:D

But the one I looking for now, Doesn´t exist in any store. So I keep looking round the internet.

Hope you´ll find what you looking for.:)

[F-Sicx]

looool..first i check what and waff...and if i cant find it in those places i check google...all hail google

[charvelshred]

what.cd is pretty good to random/hard to find stuff

pretty good for*

[raceIT]

The last step before i buy an album is to atleast hear the album from grooveshark.com or itunes or amazon

and if i determine that i need better quality... i'll buy the cd

[charvelshred]

Some of the best music has to be bought period.

[elsayed]

i just play chess online or keep waching my seedbox speeds........lol

[Overmaster]

Usually if I can't find something, I buy it, rip it and then spread via torrents. Just to return the countless favors that they've done me.

[TONiC]

I check if it's available on FTP /ARCHiVE/ ;)
