Just FYI there's sites that take in What refugees
- cauthon 5y agoWould you mind sharing any names? I don’t mind whatever ratio limits exist for new accounts, but I deeply miss finding music through staff picks and the forums
- chx 5y agoorpheus and redacted are the big ones. Getting in, of course, will be a challenge. rutracker is a pretty open alternative.
- Naracion 5y agoHaving experience with these platforms, they wane in comparison to the gem that What was. It wasn't just a repository / archive, it was also a thriving community. However, we need to move on. These are currently probably the best alternatives, so thank you for pointing these out. It's just What was too damned good.
- 22c 5y agoI'm only really familiar with RED (I know there are others) but it didn't bounce back even close to What, unfortunately. Perhaps others did significantly better, but I think without a dump of the catalog, it's going to be next to impossible to ever get back everything that What had. Also FTR I'm a heavy Bandcamp user and I'm disappointed by this acquisition.
- od1nos 5y agoRED does not have the amount of users that What had, but it vastly surpasses the amount of flacs it had on the day it went down: 864k 'perfect' flacs vs 1,360k on RED currently.
