Hey guys I was wondering what the best public music tracker is?

I’ve been using Spotify for a few years now and today I couldn’t access my account. Here I found out they suspended my account claiming I was trying to download their music.

After contacting them they said it was probably a false positive and they can fix my account ‘in a few days most likely’.

After all of this I’m more interested in pirating my music just like I do with movies/tv shows/games :P.

    I’ve been using Soulseek for years. I recommend it. It’s not torrents, but P2P. But you can find anything… I use Nicotine+ as my client. Not sure what the Windows client is (Perhaps just Soulseek?). Slsk.org.

      Soulseek is great. I use it to get anything obscure that isn’t on Spotify or bandcamp or whatever. Old european prog is generally hard to find ;)

      Thanks I’ll check this out!

      Edit: I just installed Nicotine+ (there was also a Windows version). Wow this feels like the old KaZaa etc days haha. Everything I search for is here, thank you!

        No problem. I listen to a lot of hard to find artists, and Ive never had an issue finding them there. If you’re picky about formats and naming, Musicbrainz Picaard is still the best (IMO) for organizing everything…

    I use rutracker for more curated torrents, btdig to dig deep for rarer stuff and search everything. There’s also nyaa.si for Japanese music (and some of the large curated collections). Soulseek (via Nicotine+) if I can’t find a torrent

    Slavart/Divolt (check the mega thread) has been a godsend for me. Being able to download hi res albums directly off of qobuz / tidal has been a game changer. I never want to search for a torrent of an album again, and it also makes it way easier to get local copies of more niche albums too.
