Greetings.

LW Staff

Thanks for the nice review. Great new tracker and the quality of the uploads and artwork scans are superb.

Nice to see staff actually posting a review here. It's refreshing when a tracker doesn't go all insane to remain secret. Better just to get your information out there and be open, plus if your staff you can control what gets put in a review.

Someone else can always post another review including whatever they want. :unsure:

About LW itself, it's a pretty nice lossless tracker, and not hard to get in unlike the other two well-known ones. :)

yeah but for me its hard to get into.. i mean i dont own any CDs, whatever music i have is on my HDD, so i cant upload as per their requirement. I just want to download lossless stuff (already have too much lossy) and of course i can seed forever(its music).. but it looks like they dont want normal users.

Well, the site wants people that know how to make FLAC rips and can upload stuff, or at least that can make them believe the former with the invite application, and upload one rip 24 hours after being invited. :D

If you just want to download lossless stuff, get an invite through Waffles' PU forums (if you have access), or just use What, Waffles, RuTracker, Demonoid, FLACshare, ...

other than demonoid i m not user of any of these (used to be member of waffles,but lost account when i was away)..demonoid has flacs.. never thought of searching there. hows FLACshare , is it open for normal users ?

It's a DDL forum. Everyone may register. :)

They appear to be down right now, however. :ermm:

Don't forget about Avaxhome. Alot of the rips from the two main FLAC trackers make it to Avaxhome. Plus(one of the main reasons I use it), aksman uploads his vinyls to the site on a regular basis. It's probably the best DDL forum for losselss rips.

File hosts are not good for me :(
my connection tends to get disconnected now and then ,, and i dont have premium account at any of these filehosts..
plus i think i m connected through a proxy.. (see the pic..http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/5480/81623630.png) my ip starts from 10.,, which means i am behind a NAT gateway..
i just hope any of the trackers dont ban me.. if some other user connects using these ip.. i probably will be banned :(

Trackers won't see the 10.*.*.* IP, which is internal and private, only the one that begins with 210. If your ISP uses the "giant NAT" model where many people share the same external IP address, then you may want to contact your trackers' staff and tell them about this! They should put a note in your profile or somehow flag your account so that you won't be banned.

Once you're registered, you won't even need a translator most of the time. :)

that's why i am worried. Already got banned from Myanonamouse but got reinstated after i explained this. But i don't think staff on some trackers will give a damn, basically i am from india which probably means they are already suspicious :angry:

Well, it's not like you're suspected of cheating or anything, and which duper would go ahead to talk to the staff about it? So I'd suggest you try. :)

LossLess World Private Music Tracker.

Tracker aims:
LossLess World is a private music tracker that focuses on lossless audio torrents. Only lossless audio files (flac) are allowed to be uploaded to the tracker and accordingly no lossy formats are allowed (mp3 aac ogg.) LossLess World was launched 1 year and 4 months ago (date written December 2011) The administrators focus for site development has been slowly building a user base that is responsible for seeding torrents, recruiting uploaders with a high attention to detail and writing a secure source code (Nexus).

Content:
The major strength of LossLess World and how it differentiates itself from other private music trackers is the content. LossLess World focuses on torrents which cannot be found on other trackers. Uploaders are encouraged (when appropriate) to mark torrents as exclusive to the tracker and reminds members when downloading, to refrain from uploading torrents to other trackers.

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1046/genres.th.jpg

The number of torrents uploaded currently sits at 12,223 and covers a wide variety of genres including, Classical, Rock, Alternative, Metal and Jazz.

Interesting tracker and I guess that the 12,223 torrents seen in the screenshot must be even more by now. Is it true that this site has come from the old Need Music tracker and that the owner is actually the owner of that site, by the nick Geddy Lee?

This looks like a good tracker, but in almost 2 years, you have 2000 members, I am complete fine with this, but 1.9k of them are still users... do you have some ridiculous criteria for PU or people are just not active?

Maybe it's sort of hard to reach whatever the requirements are with such a low userbase. :idunno:

I friend of mine, who is a member told me that you can only become for PU when you donate over 25$!!!! :pinch:
And indeed the owner is the formerly known as GeddyLee... A black sheep of the lossless community, banned from many places, including E* and P's. Proceed with caution and at your own risk!

I'm a poweruser there and i never donated. Your friend doesn't know shit.

Not joining a perfectly good tracker because of what other people, most of whom are probably assholes themselves, think of the owner makes you a bit of a sheep. Keep following the herd mentality :rolleyes:

Oh, that settles it.

Shame on me for thinking it was seeding difficulty. :pinch:

@progress: Thanks for proving me right.

As far as the owner, he is banned everywhere and his rips too. What, Waffles, E****, P's... He has been accused that his rips are fake cd-r rips, found mostly in Russian sites like Avax or rutracker! So, I definitely wouldn't call it a perfectly good tracker.

@gamesover: Sheep are known for following what others tell them, without being able to know any better. Just food for thought!
