When will a real muisc tracker emerge?

What have you contributed to APL & PTH
APL:7ul, 3 perfect flac's
PTH: 21ul, 2 perfect flac's

It already has and it's called apollo

one day soon he'll get blown the FUCK out

meh, a bit early but I didn't want to risk a hook shit op with mr semen around

Get greatest hits shit and the best of stuff. Also getting shit like classical or jazz compilations are good.

Will they unban me if I've been inactive?

Spend them on FLAC torrents with 1 seeder. You'll get more buffer in the long run.

What do I do after I passed the PTH interview?

...

hey m80, here's a quality rip just for you:

"PPPAAAAAAAAARRRRRPPfffffftttttt!"

probably, they are pretty chill and /comfy/

get on their irc and check out the #disabled channel or whatever they call it.

hook

*parp*

Most trackers (except the exceptionally autistic ones) do this since you're only allowed one account per lifetime.

>passtheheadphones.me/collages.php?id=164
oh shit, I forgot about that on what. brings back the nostalgia hard

2 weeks for both

>APL
14 GB
15 Torrents
14 Perfect

>PTH
Up: 25 GB
50 Torrents
40 Perfect FLACs

APL is shit now.

how come drizzy left us boys?

pth staff identified

...

PTH shills in full force

Are you able to upload to PTH or is it retarded like what.cd?

it's retarded

3/10 b8 m8

You can upload. Don't worry about your stuff being trumped; no one will download your stuff to find out that you just upped a youtube2flac!

...

...

>implying anyone needs to shill pth

>implying these numbers matter anymore

> demonotaku we have this talk every week now

>mattering

keep hook posting, nala! one day your tracker won't be shit!

As a legit member of the piano technicians guild, I do not approve the procurement of the logo.

its distracts the hell out of me

;-;

how does one become a member?

theplace.bz

Who's elwood? Did he make a joke about rape culture too?

>piano technicians guild
do you have to show that you can play piano before they let you in?
what's the recruitment forum like?

>on /ptg/
>asks what piano technicians guild is like

spindrifter (Elite TM)
I don't have, and have never had a seedbox. They seem to me to be a way for the over-privileged to obtain an unfair advantage over the rest of us.

I think the whole concept of being able to buy favours is politically, socially, and morally wrong, so everything I up- and download relies on my 6 year old pc.

>he doesn't know about the actual ptg

eventually they'll just ban him

Because red.dit invaded when whatcuck died. No one stays in these threads anymore

>doesn't know how to use meme arrows

>demonotaku tries to act smug when he comes into these threads
>in reality he can't stop checking how often he gets name dropped since his handle is tied to every single tracker and social media he's a part of
no matter what happens, just remember you're not demonotaku or anthony burch

>/ptg/ is utter shit these days
>must be because redditors
o-ok

can someone tell me which sources can have a log score? I know of CD and Vinyl
Any others?
And is it only for FLAC?
CD
vinyl don't have log scores afaik?
I've seen some with a score
Vinyl do not have log scores.
no?

>vinyl
> I've seen some with a score

you clearly don't come here often enough
there's plenty of guys staying thread to thread
there's a fairly active irc on rizon too

there's plenty of LEDDITORS around here and in irc lately, but if you're keeping an eye you can see the real folks

He is right though. The thread full of retards that came from leddit and google with What demise.

they don't really care if you can play one.
you have to pass a written test that has to do with restoring pianos, materials, what not to use, and some tuning theory.

then there is the much more difficult tuning test where you have to tune a piano to spec without any tuning aids except an 1440 tuning fork, in front of a panel of "expert" tuners, who get to decide if your job was up to spec

you can take hours and hours if you want, but it has to produce a near perfectly tuned piano by ear

ok, so it's a bit like the pth interview then? cool

jesus christ

an a440* fork
It took me two tries to pass the tuning test but it was worth it

for some reason people tend to only get their pianos tuned by registered technicians
dumb as hell if you ask me. its not THAT hard
its not like its dangerous or anything, just takes lots of practice and I guess the cert. proves that you've done it before

kek, sounds autistic as fuck

I like it.

nope, that must be fake, soz

it's true though, some vinyl flacs have a log included

Is there an easy way to get BP fast on B*N?

CD

no?
If they do then it's a *.log file that is not actually an EAC Log or it's a mis-tagged release
Worth checking out to see if it needs to be corrected if you run into them
oh, that might be it
!seen Z
leanvix good girl that is )
is that one a mistake?
the Vinyl with 100% log
link?
That's probably not good.
the link is there
click it
apollo.rip/torrents.php?id=290743
no link showed up here until that last message of yours :)
Yeah, somethings fishy about this vinyl.
mislabeled
is my guess
More QC to the people
my guess, its this release discogs.com/Phineas-Newborn-Jr-Please-Send-Me-Someone-To-Love/release/3234218
also, whats fun is that the log shows .mp3 files
I wish people cared more about their uploads
why does it show a flac first and then a mp3?
It's note xactly helping our reputation
/Volumes/LACIE500/easynews/Torrents/Phineas Newborn,Jr. - Please Send Me Someone To Love (1969) [LAME MP3 (CBR 320kbps)]/02 Rough Ridin'.mp3
Maybe they dumped to both FLAC and MP3?
Transcode?
leanvix: You're probably right, that matches with the wikipedia page -> es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Newborn,_Jr.
Only one way to find out...

...

Same as any other tracker. Seed as many small files as you can.

Doesnt work there as far as i know.

my favorite part is B just fucking ignoring it all

download and seed big amounts for a long time

got BP formula?

> It's note xactly helping our reputation
it's self-aware

big season packs with only a few seeders for a while. once you get thos months of seedd time multiplyer you're golden

he's too busy trying to fury roleplay with Z to give a fuck about anything

well played user

...

Apollo staff are incompetent, but aren't afraid to admit their mistakes and listen to the community.
PassTheHeadphones staff are semi-competent, but act like snobby know-it-alls.

Apollo SysOps are former WHAT.CD Administrators
PassTheHeadphones staff are literally who? fls shit

really makes me think!

...

What does PTH even offer that Apooloo doesn't?

this is how people like trump win

incompetent but appeal to the masses vs semi-competent, when they need help probably seek someone with knowledge on the issue

then for some reason people think incompetence being led by the masses is a good thing?!? idgi

Damn yeah you liked Sanders too right?

The prime difference is pth staff would rather be honest and call you a retard than fellate and lie to you just so you vote for them.

When will apooloo have a points system?

>PassTheHeadphones staff are semi-competent, but act like snobby know-it-alls.

Welcome to staff at every competent private tracker ever.

if by ' listen to the community' you mean make monumental and embarrassing fuck ups, then make total u-turns after a massive backlash against such stupidity, then yeah

soon!

Over 100,000 more Bandcamp releases

in the primaries, yeah

>he thinks staff can implement a points system in 2017

How soon? Unless you download something super popular there's no point in seeding.

>tracker.hdbits.org
update those announce URIs lads

eta: 6months

apl doesn't have 6 months

>The tracker is down. We're migrating to a new host. No ETA for the tracker. Come chat with us on IRC.

great
