Probably the greatest single topic volunteer library ever built by man gone.

I hardly ever use it anymore, but already the past week there were two things I was meaning to look for there. A movie score I will probably never find anywhere else, and I was thinking about looking to see if anyone had ripped more Marion Brown albums.

So much rare music basically lost again. Back to eBay to try to hunt down rare French jazz records.

This will also probably drive the insane prices for out of print albums even higher now.

I wish the music industry would just figure out what an amazing resource a place like this was and monetize it. I would pay for the service. Will never happen though because everyone is fucking greedy protecting the rights to music they will never release anyway.

I was on What.cd since its inception and I've been stripped from downloading privileges for a year or three. Most things I can still find on Soulseek. Yep, good old Soulseek still works.

A true prince among Netphorians recently highlighted the existence of a what.cd replacement in the form of PassTheHeadphones.
