really like soulseek, and theres a great android app for it called seeker. you can sort by variables like quality, size, encoding, bitrate, etc.
Soulseek is what I use to get more obscure titles that cannot be bought anymore and aren't on spotify. It let anyone visit other people library of music, and some users share a lot.
If you want to find more stuff on it you should try it on a pc and setting up port forwarding (I don't know if it's possible with the seeker app) as without it, you can only see the content from users who port forwarded themselves.
I was a r/soulseek user, so I hope a soulseek sub will pop up somewhere here.
Ohhhh, I knew port forwarding affected torrenting, but I didn't think about how it would affect Soulseek. I'll have to get that set up as it's my primary music source since W.CD died.
I hadn't heard of Soulseek before. I see it depends on some central servers though the file transfer is peer to peer. Do you need to take precautions with Soulseek as with Bittorrent to hide your IP address?
Your ip is indeed public with soulseek. I've never heard of anyone having issues with that as soulseek is really unknown from the public but you can use a vpn to hide it.
