Soulseek has been around for more than a decade

If you're not forced to find your music on soulseek rest assured you're a pleb any way

i could never figure out how to use soulseek. I downloaded the thing and it just confused me. is there a tutorial anywhere that i could follow

>>73847605
sharethreads in the /mu/ archive have plenty of obscure albums which have been uploaded to Mega and Mediafire

>>73847605
if you think using one circle of music is superior to using a multitude of circles of music you are a pleb.

You make an account which is basically typing a few things in, and then you search and wait

If it's obscure, you may have to wait weeks, or flag it yourself to wait until a user is online that has it

If you search for something like radiohead, you'll just get mountains of files

You then find what you want, particularly the right audio quality, and right click it and choose to download the whole folder containing the song file (the album) and locate where it downloads to on the computer

Some users will stop you from downloading music from them if you don't share, so you also have to share your own library

Someone randomly giving you a rare album, and needing to get access to a rare album ASAP are two different things

>>73847673
there are threads in the archive with the same links working for years tho

I don't know what point you are trying to make

>>73847711
my point is that the /mu/ archive isn't a bad place to look for albums.

>not v0

and i do?

Because it's decentralised. You can take down the What.CD server or the Megaupload servers because they are tied to one person and one location (to put it simply). Soulseek only hosts the program itself, which isn't illegal in and of itself. The copyrighted files are scattered around between users all around the world.

the archives are good but they still have a lot of gaps, and a lot of expired links
