Soulseek is great and I always recommend trying it, but it still can't compete with what.CD. We really lost the library of alexandria there. Not just because of the content, but also the community that formed around it.

Now we have Orpheus and Redacted, which are still pretty good music trackers. But to this day they still haven't reached what what.CD was.

Hasn't Discogs replaced the database (and community) part, or I'm missing something?

Yeah, the new ones aren't really even close to what.cd, but they are still the best we have.
