>there are people on /mu/ right now begging in sharethreads because they don't know how to use Soulseek
Holy fuck. Making a new thread so newfags who haven't read the sticky can see this.
>>51176601
does soulseek have Tarentel's discography at a high quality (V0/Lossless)?
>>51176647
Yes, it has it all in 320kbps mp3
>>51176702
fug, thanks OP
>>51176715
Actually looking through again, it might not all be available in 320 but I haven't checked for V0. Most of it is there in 320.
>>51176743
it's okay so long it's at high quality.
I don't expect to find a couple of albums in HQ in the net, they just might not exist
>>51176765
Cool, enjoy
>>51176601
those related searches are fucking terrible
>>51176601
I wanted one album and I got blocked by a user that had it.
what is soulseek
>>51176837
It's a peer-to-peer file sharing service where you can download files directly from other people rather than using torrents or hosting it at a third party client like mega.co.nz
Easy to use, makes browsing /mu/ so much more convenient because the selection on Soulseek is fucking huge
>tfw I used to download songs individually on youtube
Thanks to soulseek I've quadrupled the size of my library of three years....in less than a month.
don't trust op. it's a virus
>>51176601
Nice try FBI.
>>51176601
Fuck off, I tried for literal weeks to get a previous build of slsk, since they are unlisted on the webpage, because Nir is an idiot and he broke the font rendering when linking to QT5 and he hasn't fixed it in well over a year now, and he still refuses to open source his piece of shit, so someone more knowledgable can actually fix it.
>>51177158
>so some more acknowledgable
I cringed
this is why the english language is dying
>>51177171
what the fuck, are you stupid for real?
>>51177158
Sorry to hear that - I got mine two weeks ago and it's worked like a charm.
>>51177100
For sure, brother.
>>51177103
Filesharing isn't pirating, it's legal.

That's a yes. Don't even bother replying to me anymore, I won't reply back.
>>51177248

[citation needed]
Isn't this just a glorified limewire?
>>51177248
Death Grips a shit.
>>51177282
Yes, and what.cd is a glorified demonoid.
what does it mean
This should be in the sticky
instead of sharing my disorganized plen af library, I share pdfs, mobis, and ebubs of novels and textbooks
> people decide they want to download >60 Cambridge University Press textbook pdfs that they will literally never read and this happens regularly
I don't stop them because it's not like it's that much bandwidth, but seriously, what goes through their heads?
this image should replace the current image in teh sticky
bump for more people to see
With that filter you're barely going to get anything outside major label outputs
Then again your resolution is disgusting, and that says way more than anything in a person
i'm amazed at the stuff Soulseek has sometimes. I find super obscure stuff there that no torrent tracker has (believe it or not, what.cd doesn't have everything). Slsk is the only place online you can actually get it.
will i actually get blocked if i don't want to share anything
>>51181574
>Then again your resolution is disgus
what's so bad about it friend
>>51177065
>peer-to-peer file sharing service where you can download files directly from other people rather than using torrents
uhhh
>>51178419
You have to download more megabytes.
>>51178419
I've never seen that. Do you have enough disk space for it?
>>51181609
I don't know, but you'll get assholes trying to message you to share.
>using SLSK as your main method of acquiring music
Fucking lol have you even heard of What.CD and RuTracker? You know, places where you can actually download full albums in the same format instead of getting a bunch of mixed transcodes from different users because everyone on SLSK is a retard?
So i made a tumblr account to share albums for nothing?
Fuck
https://www.tumblr.com/blog/sharingmegapost
>>51181705
>t instead of getting a bunch of mixed transcodes from different users
that rarely happens to me
>>51181609
They have a setting to not share files with anyone who isn't sharing anything. So majority of the stuff on there you won't be able to get. But you're probably just looking for pleb shit you can find anywhere anyways.
>>51181705
>RuTracker
This. If something isn't there, it's probably nowhere.
>>51181705
>tfw no what.cd invite
>>51181714
It does, you're just too retarted to notice it just like the rest of SLSK userbase
>>51181717
RuTracker doens't have everything but with what.cd you're pretty much covered. You only need SLSK if you want to download some hyper-obscure avant-teen bullshit you saw antiwarhol or hampus rate on RYM
>>51181717
Rutracker doesnt have Bluetile Lounge and yet I managed to aquired it through other means.
>>51178419
the other user set a maximum size for people downloading from him. when you get to the "too many megabytes" files, just quit soulseek and start it again
>>51181605
probably because people rip their own cds
>>51181715
can i just share one file/folder then
>>51181720
Take the interview you lazy faggot. If you can't pass that you shouldn't be on what.cd either way.
>>51181722
>It does, you're just too retarted to notice it just like the rest of SLSK userbase
okay, enlighten me. you sound like a child btw
>>51181722
>You only need SLSK if you want to download some hyper-obscure avant-teen bullshit you saw antiwarhol or hampus rate on RYM
top lel, you actually believe this ? soulseek has way more jazz available than what.cd for example
>>51181690
either way you'll get assholes messaging you to listen to their new hi nrg house mix
>>51181720
Who even wants a what.cd account, the seeding requirements are well-intentioned but downright toxic, and the staff picks don't help at all.
>>51181731
why not your whole library fucking faggot
>>51181705
I have all of those, but Soulseek wins because it's faster, has more stuff, and has no ratio requirements.
And you only get transcodes from downloading basic stuff.
>>51181741
Open up your albums in adobe audition you faggot.
>>51181743
>way more jazz
>some hyper-obscure avant-teen bullshit
Yeah that's what I said you figgit. What.CD alone has all the good jazz.
>>51178419
Well, users can put limits on how you can queue at once, wait until a couple songs download and then retry those two.
>>51181731
yeah, as long as you share something it will bypass the filter. You'll still be able to find stuff even if you don't share, but harder to find stuff might be difficult.
>>51181755
no u
>>51176601
A lot of people here can't use soulseek because of uni internet
>>51181753
>I have all of those, but Soulseek wins because it's faster
SLSK is retardedly slow since it relies on downloading things from a single private user with a shitty upspeed connection. If you genuinely think it's faster you're a fucking idiot.
>has more stuff
Debatable. I very much doubt "SLSK" has more than what.cd and RuTracker combined since the userbase of those two trackers is far greater than that of SLSK.
>and has no ratio requirements.
Which is exactly what it's slow as shit -- people don't feel the need to share the music they have so they limit or disable their upspeed connection.
It's pretty obvious that you suck at everything in life and deserve to die.
>>51181755
you probably have really basic taste and are very insecure about it lmao
>>51181755
>What.CD alone has all the good jazz
would you, by any chance, be a part of the what internet defence force that flooded the board when mutracker was created ? I find this quite pathetic you have to spend your entire days on 4chan looking after something bad being said about your site just for the sake of replying to it
are you doing it for free, or for no monetary compensation ?
>>51181717
I used to use RuTracker but it only has the big names which is why I had to get slsk which has had basically everything I've ever wanted (not necessarily in the format I want it but I've learned to calm down, the music is what's important).
>>51181776
are you in love with whatcd or something
>>51176601
I always laugh when I check my uploads and see the random assortment of stuff people download from me. If I had more time I would probably block all those people who try to download that one hit single from an album I have. At that point, just go use youtube.
>>51181788
hey, some people have to rely on sekrit klvbz to feel like special snowflakes, don't judge them so hard
>>51181788
it took every ounce of his intelligence to pass the test and he's really thrilled about it. leave him alone :(
>>51181778
My taste is amazing I listen to everything from Schoenberg to Xenakis, from Armstrong to spejs, and some rock and pop as well.
>>51181779
>>51181788
You're just mad that it's objectively better than SLSK when it comes to anything that isn't super-obscure avant-teen garabe and you don't have an invitation.
>>51181799
>>51181808
it's weird, i've just never seen someone so unneccessarily passionate about other people's choices in downloading music
>>51181799
Exactly. I bet it's the faggots who only have "perfect" FLAC albums and listen to them with built-in sound card :>
>>51181812
>My taste is amazing I listen to everything from Schoenberg to Xenakis, from Armstrong to spejs, and some rock and pop as well.
you're fucking wonderful
>>51181776
I meant faster when trying to loof for and download a lot of stuff. Of course, the download speed will be slower, but I can wait.
>Debatable. I very much doubt "SLSK" has more than what.cd and RuTracker combined since the userbase of those two trackers is far greater than that of SLSK.
I would like to believe you, but Soulseek almost never fails me, and if it does, I just download it from What or Rutracker and start uploading it and it's added to the Soulseek database.
>Which is exactly what it's slow as shit -- people don't feel the need to share the music they have so they limit or disable their upspeed connection
What? Almost everybody shares their libraries.
>It's pretty obvious that you suck at everything in life and deserve to die.
I hate to tell you this, but it sounds like you are projecting.
I love my life and have been doing great.
>>51181812
>no Paul Dolden
Yes, you do have basic taste c:
>>51181752
i've already got a good what.cd buffer so i don't actually want to put effort into slsk as well
plus when i reach my max upload i can barely use the internet at all and who would even want to dl at that speed anyway
>>51181825
Damn straight I am you fucking peasant.
>>51181827
>I meant faster when trying to loof for and download a lot of stuff
Yeah, because a proper tracker like what.cd that you simply search the band and find it immediately is so much slower than having to sift through hundreds of shitty results that give nothing? Lol
>>51181839
>hundreds of shitty results that give nothing?
What? Just type the album and artist name and you can download it instantly in 320 kpbs
>>51181812
>when it comes to anything that isn't super-obscure avant-teen garabe
but that's exactly what Schoenberg and Xenakis are, my good man, they're even the kind of stuff on the antiwahrol list you seem to despise so much
>>51181832
79kb/s is a good speed when it comes to rare albums. for some stuff in my library the download process took up to more than 24 hours, because the uploader had shit speed and huge queue. so your 79kb/s will eventually be appreciated by someone who couldn't find any better, believe me
>>51181851
depends how generic bandname and album name is on soulseek (but I guess it's the same one what too, just with less results because it has less things to offer)
>>51181839
>than having to sift through hundreds of shitty results that give nothing? Lol
it takes literally 20-30 seconds to find what I need at the most. Have you even used it before?
>>51181861
>expecting a member of the WIDF to know anyhting about other ways of downloading music
ya dun goof'd son
>>51181859
Just write the release year of the album and you are done.
>>51181861
>Have you even used it before?
This. That guy has no idea what he's talking about.
>>51181851
Except you get all the shitty results as well like half-full folders and shitty qualities.
>>51181861
It takes literally no time to do the same on what.cd. Just search the artist and BAM, there it is, properly listed in all the qualities available.
>>51181871
>It takes literally no time
that's objectively wrong
>>51181871
>shitty qualities
wat r dem filterz plz i dno't no how 2 uz a basik t00l plz
>It takes literally no time
yeah, you were obviously about to save the world from hunger and wars during these 30s you just gain using what
>>51181880
for you
>>51181880
Fair enough. It takes objectively much less time than having to sift through shit results on SLSK. Happy?
Of course you're not, you're upset that someone isn't swallowing SLSK shit hook line and sinker.
>>51181892
>u upset brah?
I think we're done here
>>51176837
Contemporary limewire
isn't downloading from slsk like downloading a torrent with one seed and no quality control
>>51177065
Everything you loved about Morpheus, Kazaa, and Limewire. Because we totally didn't abandon those networks in favor of torrents and the cloud because they were non-secure and lousy with RIAA.
>>51181924
Yeah, also one song at a time instead of entire albums.
>>51181929
KACHING KACHING KACHING
SLSK is literally the successor of Limewire except with more hipsters. It's the exact same thing.
>>51181951
but you're a hipster
>>51181960
No you are. I actually have good taste and listen to good music. You just want to show off your super obscure hipster garabe.
>there are people on /mu/ right now who dont have a what account with a big buffer
>>51181951
most popular albums are available on it, I don't see how it is more hipster than limewire
at least on soulseek I never ended with some porn instead of what I wanted to download
>>51181972
>I don't see how it is more hipster than limewire
It's a pissing contest of who can share and listen to the most obscure music. It's like Limewire for avant-teens.
>>51181958
that makes an album downloaded between 5 and 40mn most of the time, where's the problem ?
>>51181978
on soulseek there are no stats about how much you upload or download (unlike what.cd), I don't see how you can make it a contest
>>51181979
>40mn
um is that meant to be minutes lmao
>>51181965
>no u
classic
>>51181993
Have you even seen the chat rooms and looked at what people share? It's like antiwarhols private sharing party. Fuck you.
>>51181979
>takes 40minutes to download an album
>thinks slsk is fast
Fucking lel
>>51181998
yes, I thought it was pretty common in english to make "minute(s)" into "mn". isn't there any sort of abbreviation ?
>tfw set upload speed to 10kbps max
Limited bandwidth a month ya know
>>51182015
most common abbreviation of minutes is hours :)
>>51182006
you got a real hard on for antiwarhol. it's pretty pathetic.
>>51182006
You know it entirely depends on the user's upload speed, just like fucking torrents?
Soulseek's always been for the electronic music enthusiasts, don't understand your obsession with calificating hipsters
>>51182032
Except on torrents you're not dependant on some poor saps upload speed to share it to everyone, but instead of the collective sharing speeds of everyone in the peer group.
>>51182006
no one ever goes in chatrooms, it's totally useless (on soulseek or anywhere else) unless you have no friends to talk about your hobby with irl
>>51182006
I can understand kids born after fast internet to get pissed off because their attention span isn't longer than 3mn, it's ok
the only thing I wonder about them is how do they deal with stuff with mandatory wait, like a package to be delivered or exam results, do they just roll on the floor in anger until it's delivered ?
>>51182041
>torrent has no seed : fuck you you won't getyour album
>soulseek : only one seeder everytime, but you will get your album
gee that's a hard choice to make
>>51182066
>soulseek : only one seeder everytime, but you will get your album
if they're available to share it, same goes for torrents except you can have multiple seeders

I don't see why that's a bad thing. Sounds like you have a stick stuck in your butt.
Why did this this info-graph have to be made? I have a hard time believing there are people on /mu/ who are so stupid they don't know how to navigate their way around slsk.
>>51182640
They exist... I've dealt with them in sharethreads. I don't know if they found the interface overwhelming or what. It's not hard to use.
>>51182640
consider the following: there are infographs on "how to get into" a particular artist.
so yes it's necessary.
