Cool!

Is there any good content on soulseek? The last time i downloaded music from that era, it was all 96kbps realplayer audio files totally mislabelled with the wrong artist

Soulseek has everything literally. most common stuff are actually flac files

awesome! i'll check this out!

sorry for the n00b question, but why do i need to self host a persistent daemon and then connect to it using a webUI? can't i just use a soulseek client on my local machine? i'm not really familiar with the architecture of soulseek.

You can just use a soulseek client.

However I have a build of this daemon running on a Qnap storage device, which is super handy just for ad-hoc music searches, and people can also peruse my music library 24/7.

Soulseek has had my back so many times when I need to find a really obscure track that can't be found anywhere else.

Sounds like a modern day WinMX

Geez, that still exists too??? Is sharebear still around? Limewire? Kazaa???

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I just looked and it actually is! Kazaa died in the late aughts I believe, and I'm not sure about Limewire or bearshare. Last I heard there was a workaround for Limewire, but it's completely riddled with viruses and malware.

you're funny. go have a look.

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Is this Limewire v2?

Soulseek is a great network but this shit is proprietary

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What is?

[–] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Don't want to bother you but it's directly related to your post, SoulSeek is the network that is used by slskd. It's a peer to peer network mainly for music the problem is that the network is proprietary
