CAN ANYBODY HELP ME WITH FINDING A GOOD MUSIC TORRENT SEARCH ENGINE?
-
hxxp://isohunt.com/lite/
A mega-search engine that shows combined seeders (including thepiratebay).
Everything under the sun: music, porn, appz, etc. -
hxxp://www.usniff.com/
This one is like isohunt but alot of time I can get different results that other tracker search engines.
btw: no need to make your disabled live link xx red. We usually do that just to demonstrated to a member that they posted a live link. :rotfl:
-
I generally use torrentz.com search for stuff like "Lady Gaga Discography" and then rawr! you get all the cds lol.
-
Try Kick-Ass Torrents. Most of the torrents go really fast
-
Try EXTRATORRENT
-
it would be nice if you could get an invite to a private one though, much like this site works with share ratios etc

torrentday has started adding a good bit of music, but I think it is a private site that you have to invited to.
-
YouTube? You'd have to download songs individually, but hey, YT pretty much has everything.
Use http://www.flvto.com/ to download as mp3 -
I use KickAss torrent a lot at this moment.
-
i discovered a great one called Project Torrent, it has really good seed and peer ratios, plus you can download whole discographies!!! :love:
-
if you like metal then the best one is
en.metal-tracker.comthey have everything, and its easy to sign up, works a lot similar to this site actually

what.cd and waffles.fm seem to be the big private music tracker powerhouses these days… I think both are probably either directly descended from or modeled after oink. I'd recommend trying to find an invite to these.
rutracker is another option. It has no ratio requirements and open registrations, and there's a surprising amount of music, including discographies, of some rather obscure things available there. There are often individual albums in FLAC, too.
Of course, the challenge with using rutracker is navigating the site if you don't know how to read Cyrillic text at all, but browsers do an adequate job handling automatic translations now, so it's pretty easy.
PS: Everyone says P2P is obsolete, but programs like soulseek are still pretty essential for a lot of obscure things that even private trackers and sites like rutracker don't cover. In fact, a lot of low bitrate MP3's you can find on private trackers have come from soulseek. It's great for finding music of the most obscure and random sort along with everything else if you can't find something on a tracker, though stuff shared on soulseek frequently comes in the form of abysmally low bitrate MP3's and grotty vinyl rips.

Use piratebay, arguably the best site for that
-
Pirate bay
-
or just sign up for apple music…love it

Not to be a dick, but Pirate Bay and similar trackers like Kickass Torrents are about the crummiest options available. The only upside is that everyone and their grandma knows about them, so they stays relatively active, and a lot of mainstream/big name releases end up on them. Private trackers, and even Soulseek, are way better in terms of variety, though. TPB is a last resort for basically everything (music, films, GAY PORN, etc.) if you don't have any other options.
I think what TPB does best is software cracks, but even that is covered sufficiently by other private trackers, and you're far less likely to get (or even have to worry about getting) malware and virus-infected cracks/installers on a private tracker, because private trackers have, like, standards and pride and a sense of duty and stuff…

You'll have some problem with KickAss Torrents - the original has ceased.
Two good sources for music are usenet and good ol' youtube. Some amazing hard to find music there and there are plenty of download helpers around.
Not positive about private music trackers - they do seem to be elitist, and I'm not talking about the music.

Haha. Well, shows how much I've bothered to try using KickAss since getting into other trackers! Youtube is definitley good for sampling a lot of different music, and there's literally shit tons of even very obscure recordings on there, though ripping audio from youtube is far from an ideal solution. I'm not knocking it, though. I've done it too as a last resort when all other sources failed to turn up results.
As for private music trackers being elitist, I am not sure what you mean. True, they have a lot of rules, but that's because they typically have high standards for torrents uploaded and for the users who download them. As with any tracker, you should seed for as long as possible. Pay it forward and you'll be rewarded with the privilege of being allowed to remain a member, which is really simple and not a lot to ask. High standards are a good thing, because they offer some guarantee that you'll get quality torrents and reliable seeders more often than not.
Or do you mean the users themselves are elitist? From my personal experience, a lot of people on private music trackers who are really active in their respective forums are your typical annoying, college-aged wannabe-bohemes, trendies, "hipsters", etc., but, fortunately, you don't have to interact with them just to use the trackers. At any rate, I wouldn't call them "elitist" per se. Annoying, yes, but not really elitist.
Just my two cents, of course. If the other suggestions suffice for the OP, that's fine too. I don't expect everyone to be as anal about lossless files and logs and CUE sheets and 24-bit vinyl rips I can't tell sound any different from 320Kbps rips (but can "feel" the difference ::)) as I am.
