Preferably with a decent collection of psy, dub, jungle, etc. It would also be nice if they had some strict rule set which prevents users from uploading transcoded/inperfect tracks/albums.
If anyone knows of such a tracker please, let me know.

tried waffles, what.cd ?
Screenshots are from RuTracker. I can't comment on the quality since I don't download FLAC, but according the people that know, it can vary from the highest standards to regular rips done with wrong settings.
Hmm, that will most likely be a problem for me. I don't see why people can't rip properly.Quote:

Well, I learned from the EAC guide which was posted onto What & Waffles. Invite me to where? o-oQuote:

The biggest issue is that the electronic scene is mostly MP3. A bigger collection with quality control than What/Waffles probably doesn't exist. TranceTraffic has a ton of rare stuff but the majority is MP3.
What kind of artists are you looking for, that you can't find on What or Waffles?
I'm not going to name them all but there's more than a handful of artist/albums that are not on What or Waffles. Anyways, I found a semi-decent tracker for loseless electronic music but it still isn't what I'm looking for.Quote:

How is anyone going to know if any tracker is the one for you?
If they have a collection of quality FLAC releases then it's good for me.. I collect rare trance music and the only tracker that was dedicated to that was SL but that's near impossible to get into.Quote:

Second most is Waffles with over 1.800 releases where more than 400 are WI approved and other 600 have log (i.e either not approved or not sent in for approval). But with strict quality control I'm sure most of them are quite good as well or they would be deleted.
Tranceroute AKA Puresound has more than 1.000 releases, but their releases aren't always great in my experience.
TranceTraffic has more than 1000 lossless rips with a lot higher quality standards than TranceRoute.
But I still say What and Waffles are your best bet for almost everything Trance. The amount of quality FLAC rips that you will find elsewhere is minuscule at most. Also you will not get a proper extraction log on TranceTraffic or TranceRoute but rather a regular .nfo.
To be honest I haven't got the faintest clue over what tracker SL is.
The other high quality lossless trackers I know of don't have Trance.. at least not any numbers worth even mentioning.
Shangri-Law, that supersecret trance tracker?Quote:

psy torrennts
and get torrents for jungle dnb
also themixingbowl :D
u cant find such music to big well known trackers thats the problem
hope i help u
I have before been a member of both psytorrents and themixingbowl. The main reason both accounts died was a total lack of lossless rips and no plans to get any. Has this changed?
BTW DB9 should have lots of Jungle and DnB. I just can't remember if they had múch lossless. I don't think they had much when I was a member, but that could have changed.
Dub, Jungle... Killawaves (R.I.P.) had a lot of exclusive rips. Now all I can recommend is general trackers like What.CD, Waffles.fm, RuTracker. Also, DB9 has almost 9000 lossless rips.
So, it seems as if I should be aiming my sights onto DB9.. Does, anyone know where I could get an invite?
DB9 has around 8000 FLAC rips , dunno if there all seeded though... theyve changed the rules on invites now, only the higher up members receive themQuote:

Is that a good enough list for you? Those are some of my favorites.
DB9 doesnt have a trance section either..... i tried the search using 'Techno' and 'Other' category's and theres 60 ripsQuote:

Also, I'm assuming you actually meant 2562, in which case that's on What as well.
100%, with a log and a cue?Quote:

Between 1 and 11 WI approved releases each on Waffles. Lots of the old Goa/Psy interested OiNK crowd is on Waffles. Also unless I'm mistaken you won't find a better dubstep crowd anywhere else.
Exactly what 100%/WI quality rips do you expect to find on DB9, which aren't also already on W or W? Most of the ripping crowd in electronic music as a whole will make an .nfo and not include a proper log at all. Also the listing above was done looking for only WI approved rips. There are lots more, which either are missing something or haven't even been sent in for approval.
TranceRoute has 983 trance FLAC rips.
Since the poster wants 100% log/cue rips, I believe TranceRoute has 0 and TranceTraffic has 0.
Actually, Rutracker's rules for lossless music torrents (one of the pinned topics on music section help board) declare that you must include log and cue file if they are present or run Audiochecker and provide a number of image samples of audio spectrum otherwise and use proper settings for ripping tools and mention the source of the rip. Rips without a log file or improper rips are marked "questionable" (with a number sign, #) instead of "verified" (√) and should be removed if and when proper rip appears.Quote:

You can be sure they are not transcodes unless someone wastes his time on audio editing to cheat the system — but for what reason?
A) Audiochecker means nothing and spectrals are easily faked (just use a few good ones over and over again).
B) Including a log does not mean it's a proper log. Rutracker is full of rips without a test run, rips in burst mode, those insufferable single track .ape rips, etc.
I'm not saying good tracks don't exist there, you just need to be more vigilant.
The type of music that I listen to is basically Electric Zoo. Is there a tracker for that?
To be honest I don't know the genre at all. Do you have examples? i.e specific artists.
For sure, this is to what I was referring: http://www.madeevent.com/ElectricZoo...?REFID=madeweb
Something tells me that you've never uploaded/downloaded a single lossless torrent from RuT. It's so much underrated in terms of the quality of the lossless uploads just because it's not exclusive and it's not hard to seed at.:OQuote:

It's impossible to upload a transcode and get a "trusted" torrent status.
Here's their wiki regarding the torrent statuses.

Absolutely, Audiochecker is unreliable and there are some DSP plugins around to inject fake frequencies in the stream that will produce fake spectrals. Staff at Rutracker is aware of such issues thus these mediums are not considered to determine the genuineness of the upload.Quote:

If you aren't into live shows at all, than Waffles/What are more than enough. You will also be able to find more lossless on those trackers.Quote:
