Flac/Log(100%)/Cue dedicated tracker?

Need-Music. The supreme lossless tracker for official pristine looking edited logs. You'll never know it was a crappy rip because GeddyLee/ Taco takes such pride in his edited logs.
 
pedros is hard to maintain a good ratio at? i am constantly marked as an overseeder which i find quite funny with my 48 kBps uploadspeed.. perhaps thats the reason i dont have any invites either. I am an evil overseeder! Shame on me! The quality of rips always was quite good afaik though.
 
Apart from What.CD/Waffles/Pedro's (which are hard to get in, and even harder to maintain a decent ratio), is there any FLAC/Log(100%)/Cue dedicated music tracker?

I got into STMusic but, frankly, their lossless dumps are very far from being 1:1 (they don't even include the EAC log, and I downloaded a FLAC dump of a CD I own, did my own Log(100%) dump, and CRC32 mismatched :S)
 
Try rutracker.org (it isn't dedicated site but has lots to offer)

BTW What & Waffles aren't that hard to join, while Pedro's isn't so hard to maintain ratio.
 
I'm in fact in What.CD but I'm stuck at the 20GB barrier 24/7 seeding all the torrents I downloaded. So a few MBs more and I'll enter in ratio watch :S

I'll try that tracker, thank you!
 
^ Go for the recent staff picks, they're all freeleech at What.cd. I've easily managed to upload 30+GB in two days on those torrents and the FLAC ones are doing better than MP3. I'm using a seedbox, ofc
 
Offhand, the only thing WI's do that a logchecker doesn't is check the drive oRABet by hand from the list at AccurateRip. There are a few other cosmetic things (I think they enforce a certain FLAC command line) but the oRABet check is the main difference. What's logchecker only reports an error if the drive oRABet is set to zero, since it assumes if it's set to anything else it was set correctly. This may not always be the case, especially if AccurateRip isn't used.

So in short, yes, a WI approved rip could be better quality than a 100% log, specifically in the tagging and oRABet departments.
 
AccurateRip isn't necessarily useful if you have different pressings of an album or an album with few/no CRC submissions. It's more of a nice check that your settings are correct for your drive than a foolproof error checker. Plenty of rips that fail AR are perfectly fine (unless, of course, it's something new and popular with a single pressing).

I have a feeling the logchecker at Pedro's is far more anal than any of the Waffle Irons though. You know it's awesome when your upload fails the logchecker because the tracks are named 01 Song.flac instead of 01 - Song.flac :D
 
Thanks for reminding me to check, if I was able to access Pedro's again. After almost 3 months out in the cold, I'm finally back :D And BTW I prefer anal (I call it correctly named and nicely tagged) and freedom of client choice and not to mention easier seeding rather than the other options.
 
Regarding freedom of client choice, seeing as they're the only tracker I've ever seen that's banned older versions of uTorrent (1.6.1/1.7.7/1.8.2), completely banned Deluge (even the newer fixed version), I'm going to assume "freedom of client choice" means "my favourite client isn't banned" ;)

As for the logchecker, yeah it's definitely nice to know that the files are properly ripped. There's no denying that it's anal though!
 
Well my favorite client in 2005 was BitComet and I also was upset when I couldn't use it at some point of time. But it all goes for a reason. And Pedro didn't ban Vuze ;)
