Thread: Waffles VS What.cd!

I'm only a member at waffles, so my opinion probably won't matter, but is there anything you need that you can't find on waffles, so far I haven't had this problem. Also from what I've heard, the same can be said about What.CD. I keep thinking, why do people have accounts at both sites, is there really that much of a difference on both sites that makes it a benefit to be a member on both. I'm not saying it's bad to be a member at both, quite the opposite in fact. I actually wanna know what is the difference, if there is any, between both sites.

I have both waffles and what.cd. I prefer what.cd, because of their nice design. Easy to find anything you want. Each artist has his own page you can say. But waffle's shows artist in a search result kinda way. Both are hard to seed indeed. I got into what.cd first and after hearing about waffles, i was desperate to join waffles, because i heard that it's easier to seed and that it has more content, turned out to be worse than what.cd in my opinion. Before you join any of them, make a little research for sure or just get them both :)

I'm a member of both trackers, but I prefer What. They both have similar communities and content, except that What has more members and content. The functionality and organization at What could not be matched by Waffles unless they switched over to Gazelle, which will never happen. I also like What's aggressive policy towards public giveaways and their interview process, which ensures members have some knowledge of audio encoding. I've found that, in general, What has a much more knowledgeable community (check out The Laboratory.)

I still upload a lot of content at Waffles, but I tend to use What more.

I don't have an account at waffles.fm, so I can't really compare, but I do have an account at what.cd, and from what I have seen/used, what.cd is great. Great selection of music and software, great tracker system. I don't know about the community though, as i'm not active there.

They also treated me like the worst cheater while I was trying to explain. The guys there are really elitists...

Hmm sounds terrible. How did that happen?

What is better because has a good invite forum xD
actually i like What design but waffles more easy to seed
i'm donator to both site so means i love both and cannot be bias here
just comment and will not vote :p

I voted for what.cd simply because I'm only a member there, and I have trouble imagining how something could be much better than whatcd, its simply amazing. The variety and quality of music is unbelievable. That said waffles does have a bit of an aura about it due to the fact that it's harder to get into.

i chose waffles, first because i don't have an account in whatcd, and i heard they're pretty strict. i don't have the best ratio on waffles, but just kept my files seeding forever.

Anyone know when is Waffles opening again? I'm really interested in joining it, seems like a great music tracker.
