Soulseek

Praise Jah · 03-27-2010, 12:20 PM

Soulseek is the best free mp3 sharing program there is. If you don't got it, get it. If you do have it, share your account name...

mine is crackerjack2228. I got a new computer so i dont have much in my shared folder...

i'd be interested in hearing what my fellow yahookans are listening to.

I used to use soulseek back in the day, but i haven't used anything but torrents on private trackers for years now.

my_scatterheart · 03-27-2010, 02:16 PM

It's kind of fucking whack imo

Flamingnun · 03-27-2010, 02:18 PM

lolol I haven't used soulseek in about seven years.

Captain Cannabis · 03-27-2010, 02:19 PM

soulseek came out right after napster. torrents and private trackers are infinitely better

my_scatterheart · 03-27-2010, 02:22 PM

I'm not gonna lie, the past couple days I found a couple things I've been trying to put on my ipod that weren't on torrents, blogs, what, megaup, etc. so I can't complain. But idk. Kinda hit or miss. But all has its place

Captain Cannabis · 03-27-2010, 02:33 PM

if you can't find someone on torrents it either doesn't exist or you aren't looking in the right place

my_scatterheart · 03-27-2010, 02:38 PM

Untrue. Believe me sir. There are a few nutty things that I haven't been able find, or some local stuff, etc. that aren't readily available on torrents.

Waves · 03-27-2010, 03:42 PM

soulseek has always been about underground/rare music, it will always be the best place to find stuff you cant find anywhere else

that said i also havent used it in many years lol

Praise Jah · 03-27-2010, 03:43 PM

i've never had a problem finding anything on it. its my favorite place to find music

Flamingnun · 03-27-2010, 04:09 PM

Youtube's another good place for ripping obscure MP3's from.

bubbler211 · 03-27-2010, 05:44 PM

wow back when napster was free it was awesome! but put money in the equation and it kills the soul

myxomatosis · 03-27-2010, 09:48 PM

I go through periods of using slsk, oddly enough I just started using it again a couple weeks ago. Had to re download it. Anyway, as mentioned it is really useful at times for hard to find shit that cannot be found via torrents/blogs or whatever. The search is pretty wonky as is other parts of it, and it's kinda stone age as far as p2p goes, but it's got it's perks.

Totally disagree, soulseek pwns all for choice of material.

Waves · 03-28-2010, 02:29 PM

so i downloaded it today so i could grab some four tet stuff to listen to while driving. worked like a charm in the space of about 30 minutes i had 3 new four tet albums. but its weird, does anyone else experience a serious slowdown on machine AND network performance when slsk is open? like sometimes it wont let me open up new apps while its open and also i cant connect to web sites and stuff.

is this just me? should i fuck with my router and options a bit?

Praise Jah · 03-28-2010, 02:53 PM

i've never had that issue...

my_scatterheart · 03-28-2010, 03:07 PM

nah me neither. Sounds like your machine is taxed to begin with. Like soulseek is just the tipping point yanno? Task manager.

myxomatosis · 03-28-2010, 09:14 PM

Gotta third that and second what scatter said. Never happened to me waves.

AK+ · 04-02-2010, 09:55 AM

i find albums using google blog search, pretty easy to find most records, but some stuff is hard to find, for instance alot of records from Stones Throw are hard to find on blogs because all their files on mediafire, etc get deleted. i use torrents for whole discographies and soulseek as a last resort, because some things are just too hard to locate otherwise. i think soulseek is pretty awesome and i've used it off and on for many years. the ability to check out and download a persons whole library is really great.

m0rb1d · 04-03-2010, 03:38 PM

yeah blogs are super easy, you can type artist-album name + mediafire or rapidshare and find a huge amount of shit super easy and fast. that being said soulseek really is the best program though, always pretty fast and like previously mentioned it has tons of rare and obscure shit
