What.CD - not because of the free music but because of the community, recommendations by friends and discovering new music on a daily basis.
Right now I’m just listening to the “For You” section of Apple Music and very rarely discover something new. I also don’t really have a way to keep things that I like around as there’s no nice way to put things in your library if you don’t use iCloud Music library. Streaming services also miss a lot of editions or different recordings and their meta tags are usually very bad.
- thinkythought 9y agoOink.me was the same but so, so much more in every way
- Nadya 9y agoA very large portion of the WCD community, especially the more active members of the forums, have largely moved to [Redacted] or [God of Music]. In case you never found out and would like to possibly re-unite with some old friends from WCD.
- dewey 9y agoI’m on all of these and it’s not the same and I think it will never be. Mostly because torrenting in general is getting less popular and with the raise of streaming services and them getting “good enough” a lot of heavy users including myself moved on. It was also apparent in the forum activity on What that went down steadily over the last years. I also experienced that a lot of my social circle wasn’t that active any more at the end as they got older / out of university and started to work. I used to be on the site for hours every day interviewing people but once you start working you just want to do something that doesn’t involve a screen in the evening, at least in my experience.
