You know what I mean, the FLAC and MP3 releases that are the majority of the releases on any site that allows them. Does anyone use these? Instead of soulseek and premium app downloaders?

edit: How are you guys in piracy lemmy and don’t know what “the scene” is? FFS. It is NOT the demo scene. It means FLAC bundles and MP3 bundles with names like Zatox-Overdrive_(Original_Mix)-(ITAL044D)-SINGLE-WEB-2024-AOV

You’re just referring to scene releases for music right? It’s a bit confusing since you’re referring to bundles, scene releases can be on their own or in a bundle depending where you get them. Private torrent trackers with scene releases for music have that type of thing e.g. some scene trackers do a 0day bundle of music every 1-2 weeks, some scene trackers do individual torrents of those releases.

I don’t download much music so it’s not something I’m well versed in but know it exists. Seems sort of annoying downloading a whole bundle of random music releases when you only care about 1-2 of the releases in the bundle. Then again having individual torrents for each and every music release does tend to lead to lots of dead unseeded torrents later on.

Interestingly public torrent indexers tend to have other non-scene groups doing music releases. On the FLAC side of things I’ve seen EICHBAUM and PMEDIA show up a lot and I’m pretty sure those have nothing to do with scene.

ITT: a collective beating up of the OP.

btw, OP, I pirated like half a terabyte of FLACs (and when not available mp3s) back in my days. And also never heard of this term. Sounds like you’re just a bad pirate.

All I can think of about “the scene” is game/software crackers. Do you mean that? And the music in their installers and cracktros.
Probably not, though, these are often embedded in the program executable.

These rips, even in FLAC, never contain logs or cues. If you’re downloading FLAC for archival purposes, these files are essential. Private trackers and SS are the only way I download music. Scene rips are a waste of my time

I use SoulSeek and have for decades. I have no clue what scene you’re talking about.
