[quote=tiddles;762455]what did you guys do when you played vinyl and stores were sold out? or you couldn't get the white of that one toon?[/quote]

you'd slowly lose your mind till the point where you'd pay far too much for it on ebay or gemm or whatever.

[quote=feather;762521]That's pretty random :lol:[/quote] Everytime I look at it I break up :lol: !! At least it was a little more creative than some.:lol:

Maybe we need a "Show us your rep" thread :lol:

^^ My thoughts too. Think we need to remember how spoiled we are sometimes and how easy it is these days..

i was a second class dj back then and i still am today. (feel free to rate me down on that... i don't care...)

question is: how can a dj get up to the next level if he can't get his hands on the tracks that are required for that? and don't tell me it's all about the skills... that's only part of the success.

[quote=FM;762060]haven't used Soulseek in ages :lol: found alternatives[/quote]

well i tried that... the results were... pretty shitty, to say the least. i never could make them sound the way i wanted to, and the more time i spent on it, the less inspiration was left.

Re: Wanna know why I still use Soulseek sometimes?

i know it's kind of an old, and really old, topic, but tonight i found myself in the shi**iest situation for the 2647587th time and i remembered this [ms] topic !

so, i wanted to register myself to a site that's about promoting/selling digital releases, under the price $39 per month, and i entered there to fill in the payment form put a card # and so on and so on, and suddenly..

..there is Sri Lanka (?!?) and St.Hellena (?????) on the list of the countries, but there is no Serbia, anywhere!!! no traces!!! :evil: tried under all of the names, Serbia, Yugoslavia.. nothing!!!

so what the hell are we talking about in here, pay for music, yeah, we want your money but we don't remember your country exists on this planet at all.. damn! suckers........... i'm tired of this ignorance and 'restricted' games so much :evil::evil::evil:

Re: Wanna know why I still use Soulseek sometimes?

We had this situation with a ticketed event t recently . Australians couldn't buy tickets to an Australian event :lol:

Btw Having to sign up to Paypal is also offensive.

Re: Wanna know why I still use Soulseek sometimes?

sometimes different websites have different restrictions, sometimes the track will come out on a different non restricted label, a little due diligence helps too.. but if you use soulseek every now and again, just do it, and shut up about it :)

I've met a few producers on soulseek too, it's a nice tool to use, not abuse ;)

Re: Wanna know why I still use Soulseek sometimes?

The irony is with all this "Restricted Territory" bullshit is you can just go to a decent record store (or Ebay) and probably buy it on Vinyl Import!!

(unless it's a digital exclusive track obviously...)

How do you look up this info? I've never quite understood where mine came from (good & bad) and I'd be interested to know. Can't see it in my user profile :what

[QUOTE=Yao;759471]nope, it's territorial restrictions, somehow always to the disadvantage of us stupid Europeans. It irritates me, it's like holding the sausage before the dogs mouth with a rod and making him chase it without result.

I do not want to see what I cannot get my hands on.[/QUOTE]

Same thing happens everywhere. Especially here in the US.

Luckily tho, there are always people on [ms], who are located in other countries, that are willing to help out.
