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

      I’ve been using torrents for decades, along with a bunch of friends, and none of us has ever heard the term either. The OP’s assumption that it’s common knowledge is simply wrong.

      Music pirated by “the scene”. You know because the file names are similar to other scene torrents, like “Zatox-Overdrive_(Original_Mix)-(ITAL044D)-SINGLE-WEB-2024-AOV”

    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.

    Seems as if you don’t really know what the scene is either

      Have you been on any torrent tracker that allows scene release uploads?

      Music pirated by “the scene”. You know because the file names are similar to other scene torrents, without spaces, like “Zatox-Overdrive_(Original_Mix)-(ITAL044D)-SINGLE-WEB-2024-AOV”

        I think noone else has heard of “scene” music before, me neither and your comment om “familiar names” is not helping one bit…

    If used them a few times before tools to rip from streaming services became as common as they are now and thkse releases are fine. Dont really see a reason to use them nowadays tho besdies the scenes seal of approval.

    Also I get your frustration with people not understanding what you mean with “scene” here, but tbf you could have specified which scene, in this case it would be the warezscene that you are talking about.

    For those unaware about the warezscene, they are the groups that make releases for every type of media and are bound by rules (you can look them up if you wanna know specifics about those), the names the op mentioned are a result of those rules.
