    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

        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.

            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.

        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

        They are referring to the original software and protocol of Soulseek not the slskd one in the link, no?

      Of course you wouldn’t. If it was air gapped then soulseek would be useless. It needs internet to function.

        Doesn’t matter who makes the software, as long as it’s open sourced and audited.

          Go ahead and audit ALL of the (non reproducible) binaries compiled by your distro

          Most distro are based on Ubuntu
