What.cd

are those better than waffles.fm right now?

I actually bought Spotify premium based on What.cd's closure. It's okay. Got me into some new music at least. Rinsing my data though... To be honest I'd have both just for the chance of more stuff and the effort into the details and descriptions, the software and comics they had as well were great.

Red and Apollo are crushing Waffles for the most part. Most of What migrated to those two. I would say Red is probably the better of the two but not by much.

I've got ya Hateyou. Message me with which one you want and your email.

I think I have an invite to Apollo too.

So I am way out of touch after what went away, Any one have a site or an invite to a music site?

Is apollo done? They've been offline for like a week and before that were down more than up.

Looks like waffles is active again though, been a while since I checked, I knew they were trying to get back up and rolling when what went down.

It's not looking good for Apollo. Sucks because it's pretty solid when up.

Yeah its basically a what clone, obviously without the same immense depth of content.

They are migrating to a new host, since the the one admin who had the "keys to the kingdom" basically fell off the face of the earth.

I don't think we will have another what. They had 130k or so members right? It had everything. The whole thing was awesome. Now 3 or 4 sites for music and most of those people have not been able to get into those yet. I don't think a lot of those guys will be coming back.

I started music torrents around Oink and a few others at the time. I had heard of music streaming but never really looked into it. But when What closed I was forced to find something. Spotify is what I liked the most and its more than what I'd thought it'd be. For me I'm on the fence because it's weird not to own music. But I'm sure people are like screw it full time streaming incoming.

Are there any of these music sites that have a good selection of "industry only" music, like Hi-Finesse? That's really what I'd be after (can't even buy most of their stuff which I find annoying) and IPT doesn't have squat.

Damn Apollo was up long enough for me to think it would actually last a while. Down again.

Where should I download obscure/indie band albums from? I relied mostly on what.cd for all these years. Piratebay and IPT ain't cutting it for a lot of the stuff I want.

Looks like Apollo is down for good now. Shitty. If anyone has a redacted invite I would appreciate it.

Anyone have a Redacted invite? Im migrating my library from iTunes Cloud to Google Play...and of course, itunes randomly lost a song or two, so I have many albums that are missing or a song or two, and some of these albums will be impossible for me to find again, and are no longer available for purchase.

I would love a Redacted invite as well. Still searching for one.
