Only need one music site. Which one?

Here is my dilemma. I am not much of a music fan. For the most part, it's something to listen to when driving, or zoning out. As it is, I have never bothered to get a dedicated music account.

My wife does like music. We recently got an Asus Media Player which is in the living room. It is simple enough that she can download songs/albums to a thumb drive and play them through that.

I have a chance through one of my current sites to get a Waffles account. The reviews for Waffles and What on FST are from '07. That doesn't tell me much.

How are the two different? Is one more accessible than the other? If my wife were to log-in, would she find one easier to navigate than the other? I would like to read info on musicians/bands, if possible. Which one has the best info? Do either have a good Classical selection?

The bottom line here is that I only want to have one music tracker, but I want to have the best access and best info available. Which one would you recommend?

Thanks!

what arguably has a little more content than waffles, but waffles should easily supply all your needs. seeding on music sites can be tricky tho, so if you're looking for ease of use, maybe take a look at some of the ratio free sites.

What.cd. No tracker can beat its amount of content. And it's Gazelle-based, meaning it loads fast and has a straightforward interface, as well as detailed info on every artist's pages, two of the things you're looking for.

There's plenty of threads or posts on the good and the bad on both Waffles.fm & What.cd.
Read through some of them and form your own opinion.

But when looking for music I tend to look to Waffles.fm first before I look any where else.

megabyteme it's killing me to say this but I think what.cd will suite you better in terms of your wife using it. Its layout is great and extremely user friendly

Although I would recommend waffles.fm for you. Waffles is more of friendly site, and more of a community.
Out of all my experiences with trackers its one of the purest, as they are more interested in helping others instead of greed.

For example I found it really neat that they had a contest for members who donated to their local community to children in need.
Most other private trackers just gave discounts on upload credit or donor status. Waffles is a great example of a tracker who realizes what the true meaning of file sharing is, and truly glorifies it.

Waffles.fm for life :)

Thanks, TVCY. That (Waffles, as you described it) is the kind of site I am looking for. I think I could be pretty happy there. I'll contact that site rep.

This thread can be closed now. Thanks, everyone!

Excellent choice you've made mbm :yes:

MBM, I'd suggest you join what.cd.
It has way more torrents that waffles and has a better community and staff who go out of their way to help people.
Its layout, rules (after the proposed revision of ratio rules)and presence of unique content.. will certainly make it the most user friendly music site on the interwebz.
lmk if ya want more info and would like to check it out.

I would suggest you join waffles. As you don't seem to be a huge music fan or interested in unique albums/music, then content shouldn't be an issue for you. the reason I suggest waffles is because of its forums/community.I'd put my money on it,you will certainly enjoy it.

another what.cd fanboy here.
though waffles is indeed a great site, I found myself using only what.cd. The site mechanics is like no other else out there, and the contents unparalleled.
