Aiden Butler

James Cook
because you're not retarded enough to not also have a huge buffer on PTH. but I'm betting you are a full retard and didn't abuse staff picks.
Lincoln Campbell
their total lack of security awareness is getting a little old everyone fell over grading up their sites today not pooloo.rippy!
Owen Sullivan

yeah I went full retard, I just downloaded like 3 staff picks, one version only and it has given me significant upload, almost as much as my ~30 100% uploaded flacs most of which are unsnatched
I had a 200 gb buffer on what.cd and I thought I was past this shit, I rarely download music anyway but I wish I had some buffer on pth
Ryan Hill
omg look what magically appeared even tho it wasn't in my op text
Dylan Smith

Anthony Cook

Ayden James

Daniel Jones
I wish you were the OP instead :(
Cooper Wilson
I like to make new threads when the current hits page 9, this was was 7/8 so a bit too early for me. Also I copy/pasted a bunch of the >News from another user (apologies for the (cross-thread))
Juan Torres
Does the encode group SPARKS belong to a specific site? I really like their stuff
Ian Morris
It's scene and it's pretty shit
Jeremiah King
quit being so fucking butthurt and they'll stop trolling you with no-news op posts lol
Christian Sullivan
yes they're an internal for HDBits
James Williams
At least we know noahbody is a a conscientious Sysop willing to take user security seriously and ask them to pm him their passwor..Fuck, I can't even finish that sentence without laughing.
Matthew Flores
They're a scene group. They don't upload anywhere. All their stuff slowly gets filtered down into the tracker world though Sites like digital-hibe, GFT, and SCC will race a lot of their content. Check the wiki for more info on the scene/scene trackers
Bentley Bailey
Oh... of course they are
Guess i'll make that my goal for this year
Jayden Garcia
Thanks
Ayden Cooper
What do you do for living user ?
Aaron Mitchell
What is the best way to get invites to trackers that you've been disabled from?
Jacob Rogers

Lucas Russell
>shitty redditcore pop punk
Cameron Williams
I DLed every single staff pick the first day with a good seedbox. Only got 45 gigs of upload. PTH economy is broken.
Thomas Rivera
masturbate fuck join and propagate on trackers smoke weed
Hudson Price
huh that's weird because I did the same thing and got 320gb~

Zachary Reyes
>another hook shit staff pick
i've given up... staff all have garbage taste.. fucking nasty barf shit
i'm not even going to download this for buffer
Carter Hughes
actually pretty decent pop punk desu. if any pop punk is okay, it's the wonder years.
Jackson Miller
I got about 300 GB of upload.
Juan Scott
how long before one of these is trumped? STAY TUNED
Lucas Gonzalez
if you actually liked pop punk you wouldnt listen to the fucking wonder years
>yeah guys if any black metal is ok it's deafheaven
Evan Cook
WCD literally made an actual field recording, like a recording of someone sitting in a field, a staff pick. Nigger if I wanted that shit I'd just go outside.
Lincoln Roberts
NO FUCKING NEWS?
Anthony Adams
>a good seedbox doubt.jpg
Evan Russell

Brody Ramirez

Zachary Torres

Cooper Smith

Jaxon Rodriguez

Joshua Perry
tbhfam
Asher Baker
>he actually listened to it nostalgia is one hell of a drug
Aaron Ramirez
>judging something before you listen to it
Easton Butler
exigo has shit taste though. most of their stuff is mainstream or entry-level
Jack Taylor
This staff pick sure doesn't compare to She & him's christmas album. I love hearing Zooey Deschanel butcher christmas songs.
Tyler Morgan
stop niggering
she and him are good you fucking mongoloid. get some taste up in here.
Sebastian Morgan
>get some taste up in here very ironic coming from the nigger who likes the wonder years and shitty christmas music
Cameron Garcia
>implying i like the wonder years
step off
Jacob Edwards
>yeah i know i'm not gonna like that well gonna listen to it anyway
Robert Bailey
If I had a refreshment for every time I saw this page I'd be so fucking refreshed.
Charles Diaz

>not listening to music to enrage yourself You really dont belong here
Julian Davis
>She & him >Good Pick one
They're fucking trash tier starbucks music.
Jeremiah Hernandez
who /ircrefugee/ here?
Camden Myers
they're based as fuck
sorry your taste is so shit
Samuel Gonzalez
< everfang> !Fls is it ok to transcode 320 --> V0 or is it only allowed to do it from FLAC? hehexd
I'll pick their album up behind the latest salsa explosion compilation at Starbucks next time then just to make sure :^)
Aiden Wright
Where can I go to buy FLAC
Colton Peterson
Tidal, HDtracks, Qobuz, or just buy cds and rip the FLAC yourself
Andrew Cooper
asstheheadphones
Connor Hernandez
usually you search the album first and you buy flac from whatever pops up. Not all webstores have all content, so you just have to pick from the ones that do
Jackson Gomez
Beatport, Boomkat, juno download, TIDAL, Bandcamp, qobuz, etc.
I mean fuck reddit, but you guys know these ratings are a meme right?
Connor Lee
Is it true that MP3's are prone to loss in quality because of rotational velodensity? Or am I safe witha flash drive
Benjamin Cruz
Yes
Ayden Wood
Oh yes. It's true. And it's not to be trifled with.
Hudson Powell
Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media. I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange...well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.
>Score: 110/100 HDB, step aside, there's a new big boy in town
Joshua Reyes
the scores literally don't matter, seriously. who cares?
Kayden Lopez
kill yourself faggot
Tyler Evans
You started it
Cooper Reyes
I know realistically they're a farce but going from an F to an A is adding like five lines to your server block. Any sysop who doesn't care to enforce this basic stuff isn't a sysop that doesn't care about security. The third-party tests are also pretty useful, they only score a C on SSLLABS which is honestly embarrassing and that actually *is* an issue haha yass boys
Jaxon Morgan
obviously all these tracker devs care, seeing as how they're all bending the knee
Aaron Lee
Just a bit of fun
Colton Martinez
not anymore : ^ )
Bentley Wilson
yeah but they don't matter anymore, it's not really indicative of anything. O*******e is still the most secure site.
