You're thinking waffles.fm -- what.cd was seized by authorities. waffles didn't even come close to the glory of what.cd

Would you happen to know if the story is written out anywhere?

41m € of alleged losses. And for that want, the library of Alexandria was burned down.

I haven't used it myself, but I've heard REDACTED comes close to what.cd , you might have to interview again though.

Redacted hasn't quite rebuilt What.CD's full library, but it's getting remarkably close. Streaming services have taken some of the vigor out of the torrent scene, but I think it's safe to say What's all-music-archive dream is alive.

It might be a little late now, but in the early days, they seemed more than happy to have former What.CD users (provided they were in good standing) on board. There was an interview, but it wasn't a big deal.
