So what's the best way to get in?
Do an interview. Shit's easy as hell. You might have to study, but it's still easy as fuck.

Bump
>>54892979Why are you bumping this?Two ways to get in>invited by interviewer>invited by power userObviously the former is quicker, but if you don't know anyone the first one is your only choice. Get on it.
>>54893162latter is quicker, LATTER
>Do an interviewthis is the only thing i'm unsure of how to do
Can somebody in the site search if CHICKLETTE - UNFAITHFUL is on there? I'm considering buying this since I haven't been able to find a DL on slsk/mut/waffle/rut
>>54893567Its not there
>>54893567theres a 4gb request for it
>>54893213...did you trygoogling"what cd interview"...https://www.whatinterviewprep.com/How do you guys survive
>>54893567>>54893609>>54893606http://hundebissrecords.bigcartel.com/product/chicklette-unfaithful>Buy album>doesn't say if it's an LP, CD, Casette, Digital Downloadcome on, guys
i have a leak of Wolf Alice's 'My Love is Cool' that i was thinking of uploading to what, anyone interested?
>>54891414Actual OP herekaneda.n64@gmail.compls respond
lol what do they ask in the interview?is it more like: "how much do you know about slowcore?"or like job-shit?
>>54893643C30 means it's a cassette iirc
>>54893643>C30its a tape
>>54893643Its digital mate :)
>>54893666do it for the up cred, faggot
>>54893669its like, 'whats the difference between VBR and CBR', or 'what is the best way to tell if a file is really lossless'.
>>54893681>actually want to pay for music>can't use itgeez, wonder why the record industry is garbage now
>>54893669About torrenting, formats, transcoding, ripping, uploading etcWhy the fuck would they ask you about anything else? They wanna make sure you can contribute and not fuck up
>>54893666if its flac then go collect 12 gb
>>54893705maybe it comes w/ a dl
>>54893720I will just download music and seed it for a few days.Why do I need to learn shit like transcoding, ripping etc.?Private Trackers have the biggest autistic community ever, I swear.
>>54893669>"how much do you know about slowcore?"lel, why the fuck would that be a question?
>>54893567I just made a sizable request for it so someone should probably fill it.
>>54893741>>54893788Sent hundlebliss an email.It's funny how everybody wants to hear this just because of Tinymixtapes
>>54893778That attitude is why you don't deserve an invite.
>>54893778>I will just download music and seed it for a few days.That won't work as well as you think it will.
>>54893778Because seeding isn't a surefire way to get ratio at What, you basically need to upload things, and they need to make sure that people uploading things know how to contribute quality shit, that is, not lossy>lossy transcodes, bad rips, otherwise garbage bullshitIt's like a day of study and it is the best tracker online for a lot of things, it's worth doing the interview
>>54893805I didn't hear about it until this thread but I really liked the soundcloud sample.
>>54893825Listen to this man here, he knows whats up. If you can't handle it, don't even think of joining.
>>54893778First of all it'll be really hard, probably impossible for you to keep your ratio ok by just downloading and seeding for a few days, do you know how this works? Second of all, because should you decide to upload something to improve your ratio (which, fuck yes you will most likely have to do), you need to produce high quality rips to ensure the quality of the site.If you don't give a shit about any of this, go for some public tracker, but this is the price of what.cd's enormous library and high quality
>>54893667sent :^)
>>54893788is there any word of this on what?http://www.amazon.co.jp/Secret-Garden-Haco/dp/B00SYCRMMUif not could you make one please?
>>54891414wantmesomemoosic@gmail.com
>>54893907There's a request for any bitrate but I only make FLAC requests, so I made my own - https://what.cd/requests.php?action=view&id=341597 . Maybe someone will come by and fill it, I've had a few Japanese requests filled every now and then.
is it really so hard to keep up ratio just by seeding? i doubt i have anything to upload that isn't already there.
>>54894164no, but you'd need a good connection and to download stuff that gets downloaded a lot early. Also staff picks and freeleeches when they happen are good ratio boosters.
>>54894164YesUnlike public trackers, everyone seeds everything because they want ratioYou can fill requests for more upload credit, people put bounties on them, I look for new albums I actually like and want to buy, buy it, rip it, cash in 10-15gb bounty and torrent like mad for the new buffer.
>>54894164look up new / free bandcamp releases and create flac/320/v0 torrentseveryone who has posted their email is being blacklisted fyi
>>54894210>buying albums>in order to keep pirating albumsgood plan friend :^)
>>54894319Do you not buy albums you like and pirate things you're unsure about? Look at this plen...
>>54894319you can buy albums for $0, dummy

>>54893625since this thread is here, I guess there's no harm in asking a stupid question, but is it necessary to be invited in order to do an interview for what.cd?
>>54894438Invited to what?The invite you'd get is directly to the site, you don't get invited for an interview, the site says it all but basically you go to their irc channel and just wait until it's your turn to be interviewed
>>54894474okay, thanks bb
>someone goes offline at 80% of download on soulseekis there a worse feel
>>54894512gl m8, hope you get in
>>54894515>download an album from soulseek>enjoy it a lot>realize THREE MONTHS LATER that the uploader only had half the albumand that is how I only listened to the first half of FKA Twin's album
>>54894541last time this happened i was getting some thai classical music guy went offline for like a week and a half
>>54894541surely you'd realise that 5 normal length tracks isn't an LP
>>54891414zeck95@gmail.com
>>54894579it was 6
Does what.cd have much stuff that isn't already on slsk? FLAC especially. I'm fine with the slow download speeds off there over having to deal with what.
>>54894621what is good for flacfor rare music its p bad, sometimes will have it but mostly end up having to use soulseekmusic that doesnt exist in better quality that isnt shit isnt allowed
>>54894621Yes. What trumps slsk hard. Slsk is embarassing compared to the amount of content What has.
>>54894564>thai classical musicmy nigga
>>54894225>everyone who has posted their email is being blacklisted fyiDon't listen to this liar, no one is blacklisting anyone.
>>54894660is that u sky
>>54894621what.cd has tonnes of stuff that's on on slsk, especially in flac, what.cd's strength is the amount of different formats
>>54894590sent :)
>>54894564I feel you bro, I downloaded some obscure shit and half-way through he went offline. It took like 1 and a half week for him to went online. It was so frustrating and he is the only one with that album.
>>54894685*that's not
>>54894682i don't know who sky is but i love southeast asian music
>>54894641>>54894646>>54894685That kind of sucks, was hoping I wouldn't have to bother with what. Seems like a pain to maintain ratio even after passing the interview, and from what I've seen admins are cunts. If it means I can get muh lossless though guess I'll do the interview soon.
>>54894712its someone i was getting it for i havent listened to it myself yetwas thishttp://www.discogs.com/Fong-Naam-The-Sleeping-Angel-Thai-Classical-Music/release/4619639
>>54894732Here's a protip, get another hobby.
>>54894732seedbox is easiest way to avoid having to mess with a lot of it i thinkjust rent a seedbox right when a big amount of staff picks drop and seed them all for like 400 gb
>>54894682Sky died, no kidding
>>54894784rip
>>54894564Are you me? I had the same problem with an album just like that. I just gave up in the end.
>>54894741Fong Naam has a pretty large output. that album is on what.cd, i could get it for you if you want. i personally recommend this onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xFkIvIXztY
>>54894908this is apparently a common tactic in the soulseek worldthey dont just block you right away they let you get your hopes up then crush everything ;_;
>>54894913fogot pic
>>54894913Damn that music reminds me 5 years ago when I was in a holiday in Thailand. Fucking nostalgia man.
>>54894913i have it, its not the one im trying to get right nowi think the person who has it is here actually
>>54894932How do I know that I'm getting blocked in slsk?
>>54894972im not sure ive had stuff unshared before because i was trying to get but usually people come back online for me
>>54894994>>54894972the song titles and album title should be red if a user specifically blocked you.I blocked a few people who tried to download my ENTIRE folder
>>54894564Oh man I'm really sorryThis is sky btw, no trip because I'm not home but you can see I made a couple what requests ITTTell me your slsk username and I'll get you it when I get home
>>54895035Just post your soulseek here man, we'll add you.
>>54895035oh no i dont need anythingi can explain whats going on in a last.fm messageits i_m
who is skyis he a thai music celebrity
question here - looking into getting an account, im down to do the interview, but im not a power music downloader as of now (medical resident, only get so much time to discover new music) - if i keep a stable moderate upload rate and only occasionally download, am i safe? or do i need to be an "active" user?
>>54895093request thread celebrity
>>54895095you need to be an active user or your fucked
>>54895095You need to seed your shit evryday
>>54895167>>54895167thats what i figured. Im probably just gonna stick to mega/tpb/regular pleb shit lol
>>54895196Or better yet, get another hobby.
>>54895196just get soulseek it probably has all the shit u want
>>54895216lol c'mon man>>54895218thanks
>>54895167what if i were to seed my shit every day and not download many torrents, but never bothered with uploading new torrents or stuff like seedboxes
>>54895253No I'm serious, get another hobby. Unless you want to be a true music enthusiast, you need to invest on expensive audio equipments, maintain ratio on certain private trackers which unless you have a very fast internet speed slows your internet down and than the time to listen.I say go play sports or even video games, its cheaper, you don't get worried when you can't seed and shit, not to worry about lossless vs mp3 since ignorant is bliss and wasting your time finding that obscure shit that most probably is going to suck.Take this advice, get out if you still can, people like me its already too late. Go find something else to do, seriously.
>>54895313you can get up to 20 gb without starting the ratio game as long as you seed everythingyou have to actually keep your account active by visiting any page on what.cd like once a month so it doesnt get disabled
>>54895087just a fan>>54895060I actually changed it because some weird Argentinian spammer wouldn't stop bothering me
