i guess you'd have to see it in the end all that matters is what has the thing you're looking for
but since waffles is better, because the staff is better, the thing you're be looking for will be on waffles

I'd still love to get a waffles invite. I haven't been that active as of late but I've been part of this community for many years...hence the 'ancient mod' status.

i don't mind the staff. the layout can jump a whole in the sky. but does it actually have more electronic musics than what? if you search for, say the likemind ep's in flac, does it return anything? if it does, i'd pay you for a waffle.

on a completely unrelated note: just found a dark comedy release on beatport, carbomite maneuver. both mixes of without a sound (the left brain, and the right brain mix) are absolute stunners of classics!

Pardon my ignorance on Waffles, but isn't slsk still the best when it comes to Electronic Music specifically? I realize there's probably more to Waffles then that, but as vlari pointed out with his search of likemind......slsk has everything.

if it has the likeminds in flac you can upload it on what/waffles. i'd be happy to help you improve your ratio
slsk has got too much crappy rips, slower dl speeds and you'd always have to be lucky whether or not someone is online. what/waffles is a moderated heaven.

Yeah, I can understand the difference between a p2p like slsk and a torrent setup site. As for the whole bad rips and low quality formats. I just download a converter off of download.com and anything that I want to make a FLAC or 320kbs mp3 I do it that way.
I dunno, I haven't had bad luck with slsk. It's hard to find stuff a lot of the time because of the way it pulls names. Like take likemind for instance. You can pull it if someone has it in the name (I.E. Likemind03 - Redcell - The Silicon garden), otherwise your best bet is to type a song name in like "The Silicon Garden."
I thought people were rushung to waffles because of fear of RIAA and whatnot, since torrents work completely different.

Why is that a "big no no?" Do you mean a technical no no or an ethical no no.

It can be done, but it makes no sense at all. You cannot recover the information lost during compression. A 128kbps mp3 converted into 320kbps still contains only 128kbps of significant data. You're deceiving everybody who downloads these files from you basing his decision on grounds of quality.

Very good, that's why I asked. I'm not deceiving anyone, I don't go through my library and convert everything, that would take forever. I did not know compression worked like that.
So folks want Waffles for quality over quantity (in the case of Electronic music).

waffles and what have plenty of quantity as well, and the staggering quality only ensures the continued increase in the quantity as well.
join, these communities work off of people who want to actually share music.
if you promise to keep your ratio up and seed as well as you can and not ratio-farm, i can send a what invite your way.

Continuation of User Purges posted on 01/15/08 05:39PM by MattieTK
These purges we've done have been quite successful - we've cleared out thousands of members in order to make room for potentially valuable ones. However, in some cases, the reactions to our opening registrations have been less than satisfactory.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind you, our dear users, that selling invites, trading invites, and giving invites away to random strangers is not tolerated, and any users found doing so will have their invites revoked, along with their entire invite trees. This is for the good of the entire community.
The following activities, also, will get you banned:
Inactivity - Any member of the 'user' class who hasn't donated or logged in for 4 weeks is getting disabled. People with bad ratios (ie. peons) that haven't logged in for one week are getting disabled. People who have created accounts but haven't ever logged in are getting disabled.
Dupe accounts - we disable both accounts in these circumstances. Extensive measures are taken to ensure that we don't catch room-mates or relatives with the same IP addresses, so you don't have to worry unless you personally have multiple accounts.
Bad ratio - Keep your ratio above 0.4, and you'll be alright. At some point, I'm going to purge every single peon. There is no excuse for having a poor ratio - if your upload speed is slow, only download what you can afford and upload torrents to make up the difference.
Hit and runs - Seed the torrents you download (and stop complaining about it on the forums - this just draws attention to you). Ratio farming off Rosetta stone and hit+running everything else makes you a terrible user, in our books.
Being a moron - Trolling in the forums or IRC is extremely hazardous to your account. Complaining about staff decisions qualifies you as a moron. 'Giving advice' to the staff (eg. "LOCK THREAD NOW PLZ KTHX") qualifies you as a moron. 'Spamming' (eg. one line posts saying things like "lo

l fail") qualifies you as a moron. Flaming other users qualifies you as a moron.
Uploading crap - Any user who uploads a low bitrate torrent from now on gets his or her upload rights revoked.
Breaking the rules in general - The rules have changed a fair bit from what they were when we started. Even though you may not have read the latest version, you are still held by them. We urge each and every user to re-read the entire /rules.php, from top to bottom. Saying "oh, I didn't know" is not an excuse when your account has been disabled for breaking the rules.
Also, we are demoting all 'power users' with less than 15 gigs uploaded, and we are raising the minimum upload amount for power user status to 25GB. This will add exclusivity to the class whilst still allowing long time users with slow connections to attain this goal. It will also pave the way for new features we can implement.
If these purges go as well as we expect, we'll be able to open invites again, for more quality users.

hey all, i am in a bit of a bind. my room mate is a user on stmusic and i cannot use an invite to get on the site because of there rule of no same ip addresses. I am trying to get onto a community like stmusic and i think this waffles.fm site is the one for me. I just need an invite to get started. I can offer up one of my room mates invites to stmusic as a trade. Please send an email to clbrvsfn@mac.com if you can help me out.
