I’m still using the “successor” to what.cd and I usually discover artists through random lists, “related artists”, among other things on the platform.

One interesting way of discovering artists is finding an artist that I already like on a compilation CD, and then seeing what else is on the CD.

Would you share the name of that successor? I miss the old internet and would love to take a look.

It's Redacted.sh, a.k.a. RED. They have around three million torrents. But like What.CD, Redacted.sh is a private tracker, so you can't just jump in and see the content.

How does it compare to rutracker, especially for electrnic music? I've never used what.CD and rutracker seems to have lots of high quality music.

Thank you. I’m reading about them, cool project. I’ll try to join.

It is worth noting that RED is particularly difficult to get a decent ratio on. Spend some time googling reddit posts, there are plenty of examples of people not being able to build solid ratios due to competing with scripted bots.

Another comment mentioned Redacted.sh as a successor. I haven't used it. I'm sure there's a subreddit around that can help. Looks like orpheus is another option if I'm reading correctly. You have to get an invite or pass an "interview" though, so be prepared to wait a while.
