KEK ITS ACTUALLY REAL WTF

>what is rutracker.org

They're semi-public now. You just have to use an external search engine to find shit on their site, and you can grab magnet links without registering.

private tracker ratiocucks BTFO

Here's hoping Usenet makes a comeback, the selection of music there isn't very large nowadays.

AHAHAHAHAH

>games scene dead
>music scene dead
What now, Sup Forums

what are they hoping to do anyway ? it's not like they can shutdown P2P. They're doom from the start, the only ones who'll suffer from this are normies.

I've always used things like:

>Online radios
>Deezloader
>Spotify

I don't give two fucking shits about a bunch of nerds that collect "high quality garbage"

books
television
oh wait...

So how long till pirating becomes illegal?

>tfw you lived long enough to witness the death of privacy

Youre a fucking idiot

I found music on that site that was not sold or available at any place. It wasnt about audiophiles since that shit is a placebo anyway, it was the fact you can find some rare videogame music/metal albums that are obscure and/or long forgotten.

>m-muh ratio
>muh 500gb of music I never listen to

Private tracker cucks on suicide watch.

>he fell for the audiophile meme

>tfw random low levels keep talking about death of piracy every year for the past 30 years, yet it never happens

>retarded muh sikritz club
>autismo interview

good riddance

This

Idiots (, , , , etc) don't realize that What.CD was a huge archive of music that might never be found ever again. Seriously. There was music on What.CD that could not be found anywhere else. Anywhere.

ww3 what else

>a collection of over a million unique music entries in all kinds of formats
>"just use spotify bro"
.......

> There was music on What.CD that could not be found anywhere else. Anywhere.
Even rutracker?

How good is Usenet these days?

Yeah. It really isn't even close. Along with the amount of formats the music was all in. It's just sad, regardless of whether or not you were even on the site or agree with piracy. Music that did exist, might never see the light of day again if the person who downloaded never uploads it again.

Can someone answer why they are doing this?

"Due to some recent events"

What are they referring to?

I rarely pirate things anymore just because I don't have much need for anything new.

Every now and then I'll use 'ExtraTorrent' because it's supposed to be the next biggest site apart from the now-defunct KAT.

rutracker doesn't even have a tenth of what what.cd had, especially when it came to really obsecure shit

servers got seized by police

>implying
most of the "obscure" music that was on What.CD was shit stolen from random bandcamps

Anyone know a site where i can search playlists containing a specific song?
I remember i used a site that had that, and it mostly used youtube vids for those playlists,
and i remember it didn't require a login.
I just can't remember the god damn name.

I use chiru.no

But only autistic losers willing to suck dicks to get in could access it.

Fuck that site.

lots of obscure and unobtainable music gone forever

closing what.cd is like burning down of the library of Alexandria of digital music

So... How long until the next big music tracker gets launched?

What the fuck?

There literally had to be a rule instated to not upload unreleased books because someone uploaded JD Salinger's unreleased works and they went into panic mode wiping the fucker off the site.

i use blogs run by people to find old music, been using this method for at least 5 years now.

but lately i've had to just buy albums. i don't want to wait and i don't want to dig for hours for them and i not mind supporting my artists.

>private archives
Their fault. Archives are supposed to be public.

yfw they changed the rule to only invite people you trust because they were paranoid about cops all along

Ok so it looks like they were located in France and they got raided.

>>games scene dead

>People literally spent months on other websites building up good ratios in order to get into What.CD
>Other people literally studied useless shit about FLAC and music in order to get into What.CD from the interview

HaHaHaHaHa

Damn, that sucks. I barely even heard of it until now.

That is because you have tin ears, I bet you still listen to mp3s too. They're fine, I guess if you just fucking suck at music.

>Music that did exist, might never see the light of day again if the person who downloaded never uploads it again.
Then they shouldn't have been a member in the first place if they won't upload.

HA

So with what.cd dead

What's the next best private tracker?

And what's the next best public tracker?

Private is ideal, I would think, but public should be fine with a good (emphasis on good) VPN right?

Literally buy the albums and support the artists you listen to.

Oh wait. This is Sup Forums. I forgot you're all poorfags.

rutracker is decent, don't fall for the slsk meme.

...

reddit wants to move the userbase to waffles

>I like to fool myself

waffels has been out of action for like 1,5 months

they seem convinced it's coming back

>tfw I don't have to cheat my ratio on that shithole site anymore

Is there ever a chance of rutracker going down?

>all these nucucks think they just arbitrarily shut down or were raided
>don't even realize that they sold out because they received a good offer for the domain name and decided to cash out

there hasn't been any announcements that they have shut down

Name more than 5 relevant games that came out up to a month ago that are available to torrent
Pro tip: you can't. CPY managed to crack denuvo, but that doesn't mean anything. Games scene is dead, ask anyone that used to torrent games from 2012 or before and no one will say different

yes. the had already a fight with Russias music industry

They're probably making it even more exclusive.

Yes, because obviously all the music people pirate is available to purchase at your local Wal-Mart and the person who created it is alive and still receiving royalties

Dumb fucking kike slave.

>rutracker

Shit's all in Russian though. Something about a russian tracker I just don't inherently trust...

Ok never heard of it I'll check it out


I had a Demonoid account way back in the day. Looks like they're still around...

What is the consensus on modern day Demonoid?

>CPY managed to crack denuvo
for some games only.

North Korea would be perfect for hosting these sort of sites.

The interview was easy as fuck. You could study for it for 20 minutes and get in. It was a bunch of riffs on the idea that lossless files can't be recovered from lossy files, some questions about the major lossy formats, plus a question or two about tags.

>tfw go to site and cache gives you message about regular maintenance
>Hit refresh
>Gives message that they shut down
Sad times indeed.

p much this

hell, the whatinterviewprep site was literally BY THEM

the interview was more of a "do you REALLY want to get into our site" quiz than anything

pro tip: i invited 5 people over the course of my account's life, 3 of them got banned due to inactivity.

Why? I thought it was just really hard and took time, and that was why they were taking long to release more

>one of the few sites that really showed the advantages of dedicated archival and sharing of obscure shit by a large community
>shut down

Why would anybody use the internet anymore? It's just spying and social media.

Everything's online bro. Ever heard of online stores?

>There was music on What.CD that could not be found anywhere else. Anywhere.

When I was a baby I one shat a blue poop. It was metalic blue, and it was so beautiful that my mother decided to keep it in a ziplock bag. To this day she still has that beautiful blue shit in a box with many other memories. That shit is also unique in the whole world, and nothing like it can be found anywhere, and just like your edgy music, nobody cares about it and nobody ever will.

blame the jews

this isn't a Sup Forums meme, literally blame the jews

>I don't give two fucking shits about a bunch of nerds that collect "high quality garbage"

it has nothing to do with this, it's about free will. When you listen to radio and such, someone is feeding you and is shaping your taste in music.

>Get one little, small, pretty much useless detail about FLAC wrong
>HAHA NOPE YOU AIN'T GETTING INTO WHAT.CD NIGGA TRY AGAIN IN 1 YEAR LUL

Fucking autistic admins I just wanted Thin Lizzy in high quality.

Really made me reconsider. Thanks.

Good, I hated their smug attitude.

is whatbox ohv too?

...

>buy digital files
>pay money to receive no product
Heh, no dice normalshit. You didn't address the other part, if the person who created the music is dead, there's no reason to pay because it's all going in some kike's pocket.

wtf i hate whatcd now

>tfw to intelligent to use Soulseek

o no now you obese greasy neets will have to find a job

>Not in our current form
As this. what.cd is going to become a competitor to spotify.

The domain is already in the process of being sold. It will remain a music website, but not in it's current form, instead it will be operated as a legit music streaming service backed by a large, currently unnamed company.

They decided to call it quits before they got bit.

Popcorn time next

Kek.

This is why I stick with IPT mafia. They've never done me wrong.

I'm talking about buying CDs online and having them shipped to you. How retarded are you actually?

a fifth of my downloads aren't even for sale anymore

How retarded are you that you think every CD is easily available for purchase online, kiddo?

Best public tracker to download music? I mostly listen to hip-hop music.

yea there are alot of things i like that arent in print anymore and you can only find copies used for expensive

Time to spend all of my money on Discogs.

rutracker has EVERYTHING. Downloaded terabytes of lossless music from there. They mostly ripped stuff straight from private trackers.

You're unable to find stores? Sucks for you kid.

>rutracker has EVERYTHING

lol

Does it have scat porn?

Muppet show magnet link please

but i dont speak spanish

>all this denial

i was downloading stuff of whatcd from rutracker and then went on Sup Forums and kekd hard
