Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

Anyone have a private tracker invite they’d share with me? Lidarr is the only arr I haven’t set up yet. Wouldn’t mind upgrading my library which I haven’t looked at since college.

No one will give you one. Music trackers are more difficult than average to get into and harder than most to maintain ratio. I wouldn't risk my account on it.

You can give this script a go though to download from Dezeer or Tidal from Lidarr

Where is the scene to at least start being considered for private trackers?

I don't understand how the scene is supposed to stay alive when it's this exclusive. You have to be in a chat from a forum where you've spent years just to get the trackers, let alone do anything for the group other than seed.

Man it was so hard for me to maintain ratio on oink. I didn't have anything new to bring to the table and that was why. I had to invest time to target certain popular music in hopes to seed some of it. Then it got shut down.

When What died I was on ratio watch despite seeding constantly

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Shit my bad it was what. So hard to keep a ratio

I mainly use soulseek for music.

sure I recommend either Oink or What.cd, whichever you prefer.

[–] Princeofspace@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

A quick googling says these are both shut down. RIP.

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whatever happened to what.cd?

[–] Baines@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

government got involved due to pressure from the music industry

Sweden I think
