Anyone have a private tracker invite they’d share with me? Lidarr is the only arr I haven’t set up yet. Wouldn’t mind upgrading my library which I haven’t looked at since college.

No one will give you one. Music trackers are more difficult than average to get into and harder than most to maintain ratio. I wouldn’t risk my account on it.

You can give this script a go though to download from Dezeer or Tidal from Lidarr

Man it was so hard for me to maintain ratio on oink. I didn’t have anything new to bring to the table and that was why. I had to invest time to target certain popular music in hopes to seed some of it. Then it got shut down.

Where is the scene to at least start being considered for private trackers?

I don’t understand how the scene is supposed to stay alive when it’s this exclusive. You have to be in a chat from a forum where you’ve spent years just to get the trackers, let alone do anything for the group other than seed.

A quick googling says these are both shut down. RIP.

Whatever happened to what.cd?
