Fuck off freeloader

Soulseek is dead anyway

I share cp

>>75116120
coming from someone on this board I'm not surprised.

I do it because I like sharing hard to find music with others. Nothing to do with getting a message.

Vinyl rips are a fucking meme when a digital source is available. And if you weren't retarded you would know where to get torrents of vinyl rips, which is faster.

Vinyl is fine if you own it. But listening to an analog recording converted to a digital recording is just stupid. At that point it's lost it's "warmth" and all you're left with is permanent crackle and digitized surface noise that's dependent on someone else's table, which you can't verify the quality of.

ISPs are much more likely to report you for uploading than downloading, so I've shared a bit of local music.

It's a great source though, bollocks to all the usual "hurr well it's poo; I'm on a secret Eritrean tracker where I get all my second-wave Djentcore in raw audio formats".

>>75116759
I feel so bad when there's someone downloading and I'm about to turn off the computer so I turn on the "Shut down after uploading" option - I'm not totally sure if that's how it's called but.. Yeah.

I don't have anything worthwhile to share. I recall one time somebody got angry with me because my music folder was nearly empty.

why the fr*g isnt the long song on madness 5?

I share shit that I have, mostly live stuff or hard to find in FLAC but I would'nt think of preventing people from downloading it even if they didn't share any files. Files on the internet are not your property, don't be such an asshole.

I especially hate people who have stuff up and password protect it. Fuck off.

>>75116112
in what sense?

I just share a blank text document.

>>75116694

Is there any danger whatsoever in sharing popular music on slsk? I just share my entire music folder but I don't want to be caught

>>75122047
None. it's a stupidly archaic service. It's 17 years old. Why on earth slsk became the best place to get music outside What.cd when its contemporaries, like Napster, died is beyond me.

>>75122047
Never heard of anyone getting in trouble over it. Shit like Piratebay is 100x worse.

>>75116678
This. Been using soulseek at least for 10 years. I dont even know how people download music now a days. Why soulseek never rose to Napster popularity is beyond me

>>75116623
I wonder how you would search something like that since they obviously censor a lot of the search functions...I remember years ago downloading the album by the band Sex Gang Children but no matter how many times I typed it into the search, it wouldn't work (I felt terrified when I realized why it wasn't searching)

To be honest, I've only ever seen music in my years on slsk but that's probably because I just search specifically for what I want

If you don't share the whole ecosystem kinda starts to fall apart meng

>>75117120
what the fuck are you saying

>>75122047
IIRC, because of the way SlSK works, you pretty much can't get in trouble

How do you know how fast your download is going to be? Also, why are some files blocked for downloading?

thats pretty much the type of shit i found. nothing good.

>>75125267
By the K/s number. By default the search page shows the faster results up top. Also, some people lock their files so you'd have to send them a message before they might maybe decide to let you download.

Pricks.
