Skittles and Pedro's are the best sites for lossless music files. E**** is only good for you if you're into classical music.
why don't you stick to posting about things you know about instead of spreading false rumors?Quote:

Losslessclub is pretty good.
just so you know, torrents.ru has definitely the largest amount of lossless music (flac/ape).
you can also use avaxhome.ws, one, if not the best, ddl site for music in lossless format - they have, among other things, an insane selection of classical music and so many versions available. i love this site.
It's a very underrated lossless site.Quote:

Oink is the best.
corrected. Also OP I would recommend waffles.fm.Quote:

Also what do you plan to listen to these flac files from? Because not many portable media players will just readily play flac.
Native FLAC, no; other lossless support file formats, yes.Quote:

Cowons will(which the D2+ is going to be my next player). Although I think it's a pretty lame idea to listen to lossless files from a portable media player...Quote:

The Cowon D2 does have a true un-amped line-out....but you need to buy the line-in cable converter and the line-in cable. That is the only way of getting a true un-amped line out.
So in this way you can connect to a external amp of your choice.
Wait a while if you can .. Cowon D2 is better than D2+ incase u r planning to buy it .. All the SQ Settings can be imported into D2 form D2+(kinda like importing d2+ rom into d2) ..Quote:

heres a link where you can check the quality of rips by the EAC log.This gives a fair representation, mind you this is not related to WI, WI is still the best standards ever on any site, bar none.
this is a pretty OT post bt whatever,:p.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to check out the D2.Quote:

You have an recommendations for a good audio only Cowon? I don't care if it can play FLAC, I"ll never listen to FLAC from a portable player. But I would like it if it allows all the other formats, especially OGG. Drag n Drop is a necessity too(the reason I'm ditching the Zune, I hate the computer software), and touch screen would be a plus. But definitely not a necessity.
Thanks.
What is Waffle Iron quality, and how exactly is it better than any other standard out there?
I'm not trolling, honest question.
Ipod 5.5 gen video 80gb modded with rockbox firmware. lolQuote:

Drag and drop, and nearly all formats
Basically, Waffle Irons are a group of members with advanced ripping/encoding knowledge. You can submit your FLAC rips (log and cue sheet files included) to them, and if approved, your rip won't be able to be trumped by any other upload. More info here:Quote:

I'm not a member on Waffles, so I can't see that specific document, I guess.
It sounds kind of normal, though. Isn't the same concept of providing your EAC rip log, and 100% check logs? If so, then that's available elsewhere, there's nothing really "special" about it, is there? Perhaps the volume of torrents make it so special.
EDIT: And, of course, thanks for the information, Anon. :)
I can PM you the page if you want.Quote:

Sansa Clip + .. loads of ppl swear by it .. No fancy shit .. Can play all music formats and is cheap(or Value for money) too .. Plug this in with some low cost Amps like Fiio E3 or E5 and you are good to go with some avg headphones like Nuforce ones Ne-6,Soundmagic pl-30,50 Senns Cx-300 etc ..Quote:

there is a huge difference between WI & 100% what logs. WI is a team of people, logchecker is a skynet bot. example - you can check babsy8 uploads, the guy just has a bad drive that in most cases does the random offset. WI team stripped their tag from the guy's uploads, at what.cd it is still 100% /i reported his rips to both companies/Quote:

That actually looks pretty cool. And I always read good things about Sansa's. Unfortunately it looks like these only go up to 8GB. And I'm looking for at least 16GB, or more. I don't want to have to constantly swap out music.Quote:

EDIT: I just looked at it a bit more, and it does use miscrosd cards. So I can go way past 8GB. And I really like how tiny this thing is. If the sound quality is good then I might get it.

Any others that have a high level of lossless music?
BTMusic, E****
Demonoid has some lossless, too.
N-M also it's a site specialized on lossless.

Adamsfile.
i'm not a member but i've heard pedros is just a step below E**** in terms of lossless music
Actually both have roughly the same number of torrents, which is far less than the other places mentioned.
Now if you mean in term of e-penis, perhaps...
If only I could work out how to download anything from the site since it's in russian and there's no obvious torrent download link on each page (unless I'm missing something)Quote:

You won't find torrent download link since it's not a torrent tracker :happy: It's an FTP archive.Quote:

In order to download something, you should upload something. 10 downloads for 1 upload, if I remember it right.
