Forum Overview :: No Stairway to Heaven :: The problem with BT music is the GBs.

[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Choson"]I want to download Michael Urbaniak's "Ekim" track, I'll find it easily on Soulseek, whereas on BT, someone <b>isn't likely going to torrent a single track.</b> [/quote] Example: the other night I had a jones on for listening to "Enjoy The Silence" by Depeche Mode. I found it on Oink, or maybe youceff. If it had been on slsk I would have gotten it, maybe it would have taken a little while, but I would've just gotten it. On BT, I ended up getting 3GB of all of Depeche Mode's singles. INCLUDING COVER ART. I just wanted an mp3, baby! No need to go overboard on me like that! And that was the only way to get anything by DM that particular night. That, to me, is what sucks about BT music downloading... you can't get one track on a whim, you have to indulge someone else's insane completism. Also: I don't know who is making these torrents for Oink, but none of the mp3s I have gotten from there were well-encoded. A quick a/b with same tracks made at home with EAC/LAME and it's obvious not everyone is toeing the line on Oink's quality requirements.[/quote]
