yeah, we really lost a huge resource when w got shut down. I had mostly stopped pirating music by then, but still visited the site daily just to find new recommendations. r seems like a good place to acquire music, but has completely failed to recapture that community aspect.
It's a shame because I don't know where to talk about it anymore. r doesn't come close, at least not yet. The community music collages on w.cd were unreal.
