[...] BitTorrent Music Tracker Comparison and Meta-Search I’m not going to try to be an expert on comparing trackers and/or sites, especially when the folks at File Share Freak already compiled a pretty awesome list of Music Trackers. [...]

FLA - Thanks, they’ve been added.
I’ve updated this article and the stats for as many as I could, and added a few new music trackers to the list.

And here nothing about Indietorrents and MBT (my bloody tracker)?
Both trackers are best source for indie/electronic and other non mainstream music.
On Indietorrents is mainly new indie music. MBT dedicated to more obscure and hard to find music.
BTW, MBT is most advanced bittorent tracker i’ve ever seen.

Too much attention.

If you don’t know most of this already, your ratio probably sucks and you should stick with TPB.

Agreed. Proper ’scene’ music releases are found on most of the private trackers - the difference with Waffles.fm and What.cd is that they promote users to submit their own content, which vastly increases the selection of available music. Both trackers are very difficult to keep a good sharing ratio on, unless you’re submitting your own torrents (and others are downloading them). A seedbox doesn’t really help - music torrents are ’small’ and everyone’s just seeding anyways.

What’s funny is that everybody wants “IN”, but they have no idea how to keep their account healthy. Unless you’re prepared to put in the extra effort, avoid these high-end music sites and just stick with a mid-sized private tracker that you’re able to easily upload to.

Very informative, despite the snide remarks by the others. I’ve been trying to get into what.cd and/or waffles.fm for quite some time, and since have given up. I’m making due right now with the random finds around the web on public trackers, because a lot of the stuff that is on any private tracker *can* be found else where, in the same quality, it just takes some time to find it.
And while I’m here, I urge people to come and join the h33t community. I know you’ve seen our releases around the web, come by and say HI!

So are they still giving out memeberships? Is it ever possible to get on?

just thought i’d provide an update.. what.cd has over 50,000 members… 160,000 torrents… and the minimum ratio is .15 when you’ve downloaed between 5-10 gigs, .2 when you’ve downloaded 10-20 gigs, etc all the way to .6 if you’ve downloaded over 50 gigs.

To that idiot (#06) who suggested the ever so over-rated TPB: This article is for ‘Specialized Private BitTorrent Websites’. TPB is public.

cool for adding deepbassnine

some stats

Torrents - 9000+
members - unknown, thought to be around 6,500
Peers - around 44,000
seeders - around 43,000 (yes, crazy)

you can get an invite at db9invite@gmail.com or at least you could a week ago

Sharky:

You’re still wrong on the Waffles users..the seeder count is not unique users. That count represents the total number of seeders, on all torrents. The majority of the now ~40k userbase seeds more than one file, so the seed count is greater than the user count.

The info here about Torrentech is false - the site is opet for signups - you just need the invitation code which can be fairly easy obtained through IRC channel… By the way, it has around 17000 members, specializing in electronic music torrents and discussions about it…

Ah, bitTorrent systems are a form of P2P just as much as any Gnutella client.
Second of all, you neglected to mention the Pirate Bay’s new music organization system, powered by last.fm, one of the largest music based sites around. Not to mention that if a torrent doesn’t list it’s bitrate in a README or .nfo file, then it’s probably not worth downloading anyway.
