Yes, there are still plenty of trackers out there that are decent, but Oink was like a centralized headquarters in it's day. It had the best elements of all genres out there, it was just amazing. Today, you have more specialized trackers that cater to a specific genre, the opposite of Oink.

Does not follow.

FrenchToast: I have access to a very very exclusive music site. It does not have what you requested. However, it does have several other bands that were part of the Tunes Live: London Festival '09 - EP.

Sorry

Yeah, and the fucking irritating part is that every other band from that show is available on Canadian iTunes. I don't know what the deal is. I'm going to get in touch with apple and see if they can do anything about it... but I get the feeling I'm shit outa luck.

Yo retards, when you want to get into an argument with someone, read all of their post(s) before trying to call them out.

(And Genghis, don't go thinking you're not some kind of 'tard, because you absolutely are.)

Does not follow.
It's all FLAC and just my cd collection alone in hard plastic cds is over 1500 cds. So it's not unbelievable. Heck I have over 1 TB of MP3 at highest sampling rate, why isn't 4 tb of high quality FLAC with full album covers and insert hard to believe? Why would I spend the money on hard drives? Because I listen to music about 12 hours a day. It's like porn, I can't get enough. Why do some people pay 100 dollars a month on cable? That seems crazy to me but it's the norm.

And yes it does take a long time to listen to all that music... I am in heaven. Add to that I always max out my Pandora limit. So there you go. Oh and I also subscribe to sirius sat radio. It's ma thing. And I have think bit torrent is still the best way to get the good shit.

Oink died? It's common knowledge that when Oink "died" the community resurrected as two different sites. Both which are about the same as OiNK.

Also, to say all Torrent Trackers don't do music well simply means YOUR trackers don't do music well.

Thats what I was trying to say in my contradiction post. But since posts keep getting moved I am confused, so I am going to go watch pr0n.

Oh good, a lolcat. Bridget's finally proven his worth.

Wanna just move this whole thread to D&A? I think it's run its course and I learned what I suspected.

I don't need too just look.

Let's get a little technical... some people on here claim they have say 30,000 songs like g-tron. That is quite a collection, my active drive for BT is about 500 gig, half a Tera byte and it's only 19,000 songs. The other half is a usenet client which has NOT even been mentioned. And that is my transition drive.

FLAC is about 40-60 MB per song at a decent sample rate. The 30,000 songs on Mr. Trons drive would equate to 1.5 terabytes at the median 50 mb per song. So if one were to run BT 24.7 and the key here is SHARE you could easily get 4 TB in a year and not even cover a small fraction of the total music base. And I haven't even mentioned sharez. I use them too. Not as reliable in my opinion for good whole albums which is why I jumped into this post on sharez vs bit torrent and the alt.x.flac usenet areas.

And I am not proving shit Mr. Policeman because if your not sharing your not getting if you know what I mean.

You keep bragging about your '4tb' music collection, about your '1tb' mp3 collection, about all of this shit, but when asked to show evidence that you have anything like that, you make excuses or just plain duck the question. No offense, but man up or shut up.

I am not making up excuses I am trying to show that it's not at all improbable and is very likely if one wishes to do a little work into setting up the right trackers and clients. Besides I am not bragging. I like music that's all. And it get access to the right trackers and the right sources you have to share quite a bit. So I would be a complete DUMB FUCK to screen shot anything in fact I am a dumb fuck for saying this much.

No, you'd have to be a dumb fuck to think we'd take your word for it. Get a screenshot of how big your "My Music Folder" is. Take a picture of your CD collection. Just prove it somehow.

I guess I really am a dumb fuck. I didn't realize claiming to have a modest music collection was an issue.

"My Music" folder doesn't have anything in it. They are indexed on dedicated encrypted drives. I don't even keep iTunes in "My Music". Which is why I have a large MP3 library. Otherwise it would all be FLAC. Want a screen shot of my iPod?

Then right-click the drive(s) they're in and take a screenshot of how full they are. No one gives a shit about what you claim to have if you can't back it up.

Example:
I have 36 gigs of music. I've paid for all of it.
Here is a screenshot of my iTunes folder.


Here is a picture of my CD collection as it was 7 months ago. The area in red is what I have filled since then.

There are no doubts, other than perhaps you're doubting the matter of the area in red. If you are, fine, but I've still proven more than you have.

Also, note the badass Elvis guitarclock. Inherited that one from my great aunt. I believe I've proven SOME kind of point here.

I doubt you have filled in the area in red. Please prove it.

I think its really your gay porn collection.

Seriously though, 36 GB of I tunes is very impressive. I don't have room for my cds so they are all lovingly nestled in boxes. Maybe when I am at home sometime I'll take a picture of them.

Screen Shot?



As far as weather people on this forum believe me... meh.
