Unfortunately I lost my shirt that I paid a fucking whole bitcoin for.
What was what.cd? Never heard of it
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’
Wow, literally wearing my what.cd shirt today, the colour test dot point one. I’ve never met anyone in the wild who knows what it is, or even asks about it.
I’ve got 2. One I’ve worn and one that I never have. The worn one I’ve only wore a handful of times because, even then, I knew it would never be replicated.
Pretty sure you can just get more printed whenever you want from anywhere that does custom t-shirts.
