For a lot of people, it’s a community thing. I’m a member on Orpheus and they have a lot of great community stuff like Album of the Month, user made scripts, tutorials, forums, etc. They can also have a lot higher quality content and moderation because they’re so “exclusive”. And, for music, a private tracker is gonna be 100x better than a public one or Soulseek.
Hoopla seems okay for people who listen to a lot of mainstream stuff. I’ve never actually heard about it before now or used it so everything I say is just coming straight out my ass, but, it seems their library is very limited. Orpheus has a very extensive library with almost everything on there having a lossless flac version. It’s still nothing compared to Soulseek, but as long as you’re into bands/artists with more than 5 listeners in their lifetime, you’ll be able to find everything. It all just comes down to what you’re looking for though.
Me neither. I’ve never been a member on one, but I don’t have too much trouble finding and downloading what I need.
