What are some good SCENE music tracker(s) out there?
Scene music trackers effectively ceased to exist after 2011, when VIPMusic shut down. The only reasons to prefer them over the music section of any 0-day tracker were better organization and retention, and apparently neither was enough to ensure their survival. Shame, I have good memories of browsing and grabbing new torrents from SceneSound and VIP almost every day.
None left now huh? That is a shame. I remember scenesound too. TranceTraffic still has scene music tho, but its very limited.
Btw can I pm you? I need some help from the staff regarding an issue.
Only trance and electronic stuff, but then again that's 90% of what the scene offers :PQuote:

Or is there any tracker with scene music and p2p music section separetly ?
i remember getting some releases on 0day general trackers too...
I think funkytorrents.com is focused on scene music only tracker.
Only one I can remember doing that is STMusic, and they're long gone.Quote:

Oh yeah thank you almost forgot about that one ! :) funky oriented !Quote:

Only exception may be as a last resort for old stuff that is unseeded everywhere else. A lot of people upload-whore scene releases (along with Deezer and Bandcamp rips) to rank up, and then permaseed them to maintain their rank, so this may actually happen.Quote:

Waffles indeed! What about Oink? that pig was the shit...Quote:

Music trackers is really all that I use. And that's one. Which is great, but here and there an album I'm seeking isn't available.
Anything with the library of What, just not incredibly hard to keep your ratio unless you get a seedbox?
Actually soulseek will probably be just fine when I can't find an obscure album.
Oh...and everyone here is gay. ESPECIALLY Idol and his magenta stars...
Someone who looks at the colour purple and decides to call it "magenta" shouldn't be casting gay stones. :no:
Right now, the Coke and Pepsi of music trackers are RED (Redacted.ch) and OPS (Orpheus.network), respectively. RED is closest to the What.cd of yore, whereas OPS is rather like Waffles, smaller but friendlier. Both have the "required ratio" system plus freeleech tokens. OPS also has bonus points and a thread where you can request torrents from RED, which others will cross-upload for you.Quote:

But by permaseeding everything and making liberal use of the aforementioned and generously-given freeleech tokens, you can get very far before ratio requirements even apply.
Just like What.cd, both also have an IRC interview where you can get a "free" invite provided you pass an exam and prove your knowledge of audio encoding and site rules, for which studying material is publicly available. Note that its waiting times are a crapshoot (completely understandable since queues are long and staff are volunteers, but still frustrating). Oh, and don't have any tabs from the RED preparation site open while you do the interview, or else they will accuse you of cheating, ass-rape you, stomp on your dick and piss all over you. Although you will probably like that :kiss:
And someone who is male, has a shiny maple leaf avatar and suspiciously specific knowledge about color shades should be catching all the gay stones he can get :ghey:Quote:

You very helpful there Idol. Anon, thank you.
You're welcome. Though I basically live to serve.
You still got it :kiss:Quote:

Fopnu I'll check out. I was just about to donate $5 for lifetime privileges to soulseek/nicotine. I mean where the fuck can find a band called The Coffinshakers, a "gothabilly" band. That's some obscure shit to me. The couple trackers I still use laughed at me when I made that search. Although I don't know how big the trackers are you're talking about.
The other two I used years ago, surprised they're still around.
And anon, I hope you're still not considered the boogie man of filesharing as once you were.
Idol, I'm glad you're still serving. Cuz my oil is gonna need changing soon.
I think you have mistaken me for a barber, greaseball.Quote:

:lol:
EDIT: True story, in my teenage years me and my crowd used to go "shaking coffins" just for the fuck of it. It's horrible, but when you get your first taste for necro it never goes away.
Side note: should have named my account dingleberries. I have wait to many saved up. :shifty: Cough *looking to trade them for anything* Sneeze
Curb note: This is my b-day month, since dem ol' tendencies come a creeping every June, somebody please take good care of my berries. I have an abundance, but I've named each and every one.
Weird euphemism for a circle jerk but then again you were probably a goth back then.:idunno:Quote:

I'm worn out just from typing all of that. How the body changes as you get older. Back in the day I could type all night with only one hand and some kind of mind altering substance in the other.
You're like a young boy trapped in an older man's body as opposed to anon who is just an older man with a young boy.Quote:
