a lot of music i'm finding no results with torrents via Google. Limewire which used to be my last resort, although pretty reliable, is now apparently shutdown so I can't get the software.

Where do you guys go? for example, older rock and spanish songs. this is driving me crazy

Private music trackers or just simple "site:megaupload.com <insert album here>" etc. Google searches are usually good enough. Really depends on how obscure you're looking for.

Filestube is a great Rapidshare/Megaupload/4shared search engine, I use that for a lot of dance songs.

filestube

really does work great when you're looking for old/random singles. try it!

what.cd is really the way to go!

I couldn't break out of listening to only hip-hop until I got an account, and since then I've expanded and discovered an insane amount of new music.

I could use a what.cd invite...

If you need a what.cd invite, brother Groo can help you out.

hi

Positive Touch · « **Reply #8 on:** February 15, 2011, 07:50:06 AM »

hey yeah it'd be nice to get on that site after hearing about it for so many years, if anyone else has an invite...

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #9 on:** February 15, 2011, 09:29:03 AM »

FYI

I got an invite from a Borean (you know who you are

) but apparently asking/recieving invites on message boards is a bannable offense for both parties.

Dunno if they'd ever catch a smaller board like this but best do it through PM's and edit your original posts like I did.

filestube seems pretty awesome. I found a bunch of my older music on there, not a lot of spanish music (outside of popular reggaeton and pop songs, bleh). is there a way to get a what.cd account besides an invite?

You mean like Arcade Fire?

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:14:11 PM »

I don't know how I don't have an invite to give

Yoritomo · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:28:02 PM »

You definitely need a seedbox/home server if you're gonna use what.cd

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:46:47 PM »

where can I get a seedbox? my what ratio is like .25 and In eed .30. I got fucked by the ratio changes from a few months ago

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2011, 01:01:16 PM »

My ratio is over 2 at what.cd and I don't have a seedbox or home server.

I think it's "RK Fire"

I thought that was the name of an album by The Suburbs?

Hey feggits. No links to piracy. If you cant find it yourself, you dont deserve it.

I mean like, megaupload links, etc.

Obviously everyone knows about Demonoid etc... just make them do the work themself to find it. I just hate lazy people who cant do the work themself.

I'm almost certain I already told you where to get one a while back. I use xirvik.com but I have no idea what place is considered the best. All I know is that Xirvik is relatively cheap.

you did but i got a new PC and lost my bookmarks and I coulnd't remember who said it and I can't search so thanks

TEEEPO · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2011, 07:00:08 PM »

just learn how to use google.

for truly obscure stuff, i'll find it on a blog with a link to a megaupload site.

I can give you a link to a latino warez site, maybe you will have better luck there with the spanish music.

1) Get downloader helper for Firefox
2) Go to The Hype Machine
3) Grab everything you can

I got into what.cd and it has been amazing. They've had everything I've wanted so far
