Someone could explain me what did i miss? I started on Napster, went on with the usuals torrent portals and now a sad streaming user... What was different about this website?
And the community - selective, passionate (again even snooty/elitist) and talkative.
I didn't know I liked atmospheric black metal until they showed me what it's about.
This comment just sums it up for me. You said it perfectly.
Nearly every bit of music added had multiple formats. It wasn’t just the big ones.
A request section that was super useful - due to how hard it was to seed on music torrent sites. (For waffles and what I was the only person two people invited that didn’t get banned for having a poor ratio.)
Lots of new music by new bands were uploaded by the bands so you got to find truly new music.
If you were an audiophile this was a must have site. Even tho people went on and on about “e**” (that was basically the name)
