fucc I tought I was gonna be the first to post this album in FLAC xd

Just beat you to it. I'm looking forward to the CD version though.

Good luck, my CD is going to arrive in 5 to 12 days

Sheldonsuckz, man I need help. If I want to collect lossless music like you do, what should I do? Where should I search? What are the sources you use? What are the basic requirements? And I also need your guidance.

Hmmmm, just search an album you want in google and if it comes up you download it. If not then you can't do anything about it. To maximize the amount of music I would join all the private sharing sites you can and then some Chinese forums. Make sure you have a Baidu account and a Baidu download accelerator. Other than that there really isn't that much more to tell you.

> Where should I search? Right here, you can find many things. JPopsuki if you can have an access. TSDM, it's a very big chinese forum with a lot of things.

My absolute hero.

I'd use TSDM if I knew chinese

@Satoscio you can get by with a translator like through Google chrome @Sheldonsuckz do you mind telling me what you use to accelerate Baidu? Rn I just purchase the upgrade account

Well just today all of the Baidu accelerators are broken due to how Baidu authenticates high-speed links There are two way which I usually try. First is an extension called Baidu-dl and second is a Tampermonkey script called EX-百度云盘. To use the first one I would visit the Github of the extension. As for the second, you need to download using IDM. Both these methods require a Baidu account but it can be a free one. You don't need to know any Chinese to use the website, just memorize where the music section is and the where the search bar is. Below is a screenshot of my download using the first method with a free account. 

@Someguy463 minor problem solved. The main problem is the money. I do not earn any money, I'm a HS student and I have no access to "digital" money.

@Satoscio oh yeah definitely doesn't make it possible. They use PayPal for a lot of transactions @Sheldonsuckz thanks. I'll have to try it after my account goes back to the free version. Hopefully they find a way to get past authentication.

@Mashin what is the source of [EAC] 劇場版「魔法少女リリカルなのは Detonation」主題歌「NEVER SURRENDER」(Flac)?

@Sheldonsuckz flac+cue+log+bk

I meant more like where did you find the rip? Tsdm,astost,U2?

hm? could you please teach me what U2 is? I've been using astost n tsdm but never hear of U2 before

U2 is a private sharing site for Anime. Most of it's uploads are BDMV and the extras that come with them but occasionally there are CD rips that make their way to the site. That's about all I can tell you as someone who isn't a member. Actually could you tell me if the single I was inquiring about is on Astost.

@Sheldonsuckz tsdm, astost, U2 no no CD From Baidu Post Bar

Can I get a link or is it a private community?

Wish there was Nyaa discord for long threads like this

^ ask the uploader for the chatroom or communicate space btw this place is enough for related discussion unless it's out of it

@@Sheldonsuckz well it is no big deal. Look for the album in baidu post bar and get it. http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5924468490 Mashin activity in nyaa has lasted for more than 2 years. It is marvelous he keeps in irregular post time. He can wear a high hat, but nobody believes he is a tycoon. It is he who changed his name from Ultimate. I saw the post revealing his dirt in korea page.

U2 is a anime private tracker which is invite-only now. If anyone wants invite, send me email with your proof included your best anime no goods. You should use other private tracker now. Then, leave your best anime name on this page. [email protected]

Yea I know he's ultimate it's really no secret. Thank for the link btw I'm not that experienced with searching the baidu post bar. EDiT: the link you sent is a MP3 upload. The reason I was curious about Mashin's picture is that it was a flac+cue+log+bk upload.

And EDIT 2: I should have kept scrolling. If you could, do you mind explaining how to search the Post Bar. The algorithm used really isn't that user friendly.

Looking forward to the 44.1/16 CD version myself. Tired of having to downsample this stuff myself to save space. Plus it has an exclusive track.

@@Sheldonsuckz I don't have more for you. :) Just do like googling not only the original title also the title chinese uses in baidu post bar.

Yea I saw check my edit 2 comment. Thanks again.

QQ messenger, it has somewhat loud alarming noise, you can often find the QQ group chat for fandom on the topline of the thread about voice actor and artist. And weibo, many chinese can`t use international SNS but they uses their own SNS.

won't REOL will be angry when you share her album just like that, like chinese pirates?

If it wasn't such a massive pain in the ass to get a lossless copy of her albums legally, I would buy them. But the only way outside Japan is to ship a CD and that's expensive if you want it in any reasonable amount of time.

And anyways, there are releases only available in japan, like Bonjour Suzuki's Remix of Pipo Password. Spend a lot of time searching for a download link, only to obtain a "Sorry, only available in japan" message :/

@Ritsukushi, soon (I hope) I'll be uploading the CD rips. Let's just hope it'll be shipped soon in Italy :p

one can buy Sigma album in OTOTOY.JP store in hi-res or AAC

OTOTOY is charging more than double for lossless/hi-res which is ridiculous.

checked price for Sigma in OTOTOY and MORA - exactly same price 3000 yen for hi-res

Can someone re-seed this, going to upload it to RDbrid so anyone can grab it from there.
