    It was really hard to get in. Like they give you study materials about music encoding and other shit, you had to take an exam and a interview. Never took it because music piracy was not my thing, but i heard that they had basically everything before anyone else and top quality.

      when it got shut down a lot of commenters referred to it like losing “the library of alexandria of music”

      not just hard to get stuff - stuff found in dumpsters behind studios that was never released or copied - but it was all available in the highest possible qualities by people who knew how to copy sound (both in an analog and digital sense in the best possible ways), sorted and catalogued immaculately

      Uhhh, they literally gave you the answers though. It was more of a ‘can you use ctrl-f’
