Is https://musicbrainz.org/ the current source?
description is in the readme: https://github.com/funkyg/funkytunes#how-does-it-work
Afaik musicbrainz doesnt have any charts or overall search (searching artist, album, song at the same time).
Like we said in #11, we can use the pirate bay top100 albums: https://thepiratebay.org/top/101. and then use discogs search to get artist, album name, cover etc.
Or we could try to find a torrent site with better metadata. But i couldnt find any good site right now.
This looks awesome but their home page is just latest releases, not most popular http://music-torrent.net/
yeah that site doesnt look great. i though we could use that and have a genre selection, but they have stuff like radiohead listed under hip hop
one more thing, discogs has a rate limit (60 requests per minute and ip). if we search for every single album on discogs, a fast scroll through the list might cause us to be rate limited https://www.discogs.com/developers/
strike search was the most beautiful trackerless torrent search engine ever

Hey @funkyg, long time no see. I have just implemented a SkyTorrents.in adapter in https://github.com/gjedeer/funkytunes/tree/skytorrents
Right now it's just used instead of PirateBayAdapter because that was the easier thing to do. Also the code is shit, common parts can be refactored etc. - but that's not the point now.
Good parts:
Bad parts:
Questions:
Awesome, i didnt even know that site!
Looks like that site also has votes and verified torrents. So if quality is a problem, we could limit the search only to verified torrents, and/or torrents with a minimum number of upvotes.
From a quick look, it seems that skytorrents has better torrents than pirate bay (especially with faster downloads). So maybe we can just remove pirate bay completely and use only skytorrents.
I see you already reported the libtorrent crash, so we will have to wait for that fix. Agree that it doesnt seem related to skytorrents, so nothing we can do really.
Atm they are not great, many albums cant be played. Need to find better alternatives.
