My wife and I still have a Spotify account even with all the torrenting I do. But it's such a shitty app that I barely use it--but it's nice in a pinch if I don't have another digital music player with me.
Now that the dust has settled a bit, is there a successor?
A month or so after they've all popped up, I'd still say most of the new music trackers are having similar problems i.e. creating a healthy sharing economy. Unless you have oodles and oodles of content ready to upload, you'll probably just be jumping on freeleech torrents for a while to try and build up ratio on any tracker.
And which tracker would that be?
Both Apollo and PassTheHeadphones are fine. PTH seems to have a userbase more dedicated to quality, but that also means that most users have a big personal library from years on What and aren't downloading much. Apollo has had a few freeleech events and those have generated activity, but once they've ended things have gone dead.
For perspective: I have around 750 uploads on one tracker but only about 175 of them have been snatched at least one time. That never happened on What; I had over 1500 uploads and they were all snatched immediately.
If anyone has a spare invite to either, I'd appreciate it. I was a member of Oink, What, Waffles.
Still hoping for an invite bump.

Does any of you guys with a vast collection happen to have a lot of Bob Seger? My dad is in search of a couple songs that he can't get on iTunes... Eastside Story and Persecution Smith.
