Now that What.CD is gone, what's the best tracker for FLAC music? You can choose up to 3 trackers. Please note:
1. I included Waffles because it will very likely come back online soon
2. Choose a tracker only if you're a member, not because you think or heard that it's good
3. I included RuTracker, even though it's semi-private, due to its sizable FLAC collection
4. I did not include genre-specific trackers. This poll is for all FLAC music, irrespective of the genre
waffles without doubt
Choose it from the poll ;) @min90
rutracker,pth and apollo
For me GCS. HDgeek also has nice exclusive flac music content.
From this list my choice is for pedro's.
Great! I hope you voted on the poll for Pedro's and 'Other'! Thanks for sharing :D :DQuote:

It's free to sign-up, loads of music, well seeded most of the time. The only downside is that a good chunk of their releases are ripped to .image files rather than separate tracks. But you can easily circumvent that with free software. Happy hunting. :)

Voted for Apollo and Waffles. Apollo (like WhatCD) is a little better at listing the release information (year & catalog number) which helps when you are looking for a certain master.
Let's keep this going. Take the poll, and comment if you have anything else to say :)
Exigo is fantastic but as most of you know, it is the hardest one to get in, so for most people it's out of the question.
The second best nowadays is PassTheHeadphones with its also huge collection.
Then the third one would be Apollo.
Waffles never had a huge database, there are plenty of cases where I couldn't even find normal 16bit FLACs of mainstream music.
That, and the site's search engine results page and the presentation of each artist's albums/singles/etc downloads page was terrible in terms of usability compared to the gazelle powered sites like What.CD, Apollo, etc.
Thanks for your thorough contribution :)Quote:

I've also done the same.
For example I had a request which was only available for purchase in iTunes Russia.
With a little useful bounty somebody would fill it in a matter of hours ( and he did :D )
Nowadays notwhat.cd for example has a very big amount of unfulfilled requests.
PTH is doing great in this case.
@LollipopCorn This will answer your question ;)

So indeed notwhat.cd is underdeveloped.
All the numbers are very low.
Makes me wonder if uploading my FLACs there is useful at all ( I'm afraid with those numbers they'll shut down in the near future )
Just signed up to Zomb and like it! Have uploaded a few which have been leeched straightaway so easy to get a good ratio. Come on if you have FLAC or other lossless bootlegs to share join and share!
