Who here SLSK?
I just got it and so far so good, I can actually see it replacing torrents for me
I upload on it, 4 upload slots going pretty much all the time. I never download from it though. I have a ton of good-quality music that I just enjoy sharing.
>>54917581
Good lass.
If my university can ban us for using torrents will they know if I'm using Soulseek? Mega, mediafire, and all direct download sites work, but won't Soulseek fuck me because it's p2p?
>>54917606
you're a champ.
I use it almost daily, got a good rapport with some users there after cross-sharing with them, and we now talk about new releases & recs for each other. Feels great man
>>54917650
Yes but I used to download from it all the time at uni and had no problem. They only give a shit if you're downloading gigs of shit or seeding constantly. Downloading an album here or there shouldn't be an issue.
>>54917692
>seeding
>>54917650
It really depends. One way to test is just to open it up and try downloading from someone - my university blocked it even at that level. But yeah, I just wouldn't. Try to find direct downloads.
>>54917712
>my university blocked it even at that level. But yeah, I just wouldn't. Try to find direct downloads.
Pfffhahahahaha
I got it recently, digging it so far. Managed to find a lot of content I was never able to previously find with torrents and such.
I've really been missing out.
>>54917736
You all right, bruh?
I'd love to share on soulseek but literally everything I have is from other users on there. I keep getting messages to share something before downloading lel.
>>54917773
Share anyway.
>>54917773
Then share those, it always helps
Sometimes users are unable to connect to someone or that someone has a large queue list, it's best to have multiple sources for everything
I only share books on slsk but from what I've gathered it's quite successful
Soulseek is awesome! There's literally no reason whatsoever why people stopped using Limewire, Emule, Morpheus and Kazaa 12 years ago.
>>54917987
Well, most of those services shut down due to lawsuits, that's the reason.
>>54917972
I wish more people would share books on Soulseek, it's really useful
I started using it today too, got some dank jungle and had some laffs.
That 666evilbad person in the /mu/ chat though is a fucking faggot jesus christ
>>54918009
Are you completely sure it didn't have anything at all to do with shitty transcodes, malware, unencrypted traffic, and users getting sued into oblivion because 90% of the uploaders were RIAA?
i want to upload stuff on it but i don't want to get caught so i'm just a giant leech shitter
If anyone is interested in growing their emo/skramz collection then look me up on SLSK.
>username: MarclInus
I might have something you're looking for, I'm also pretty proud of my tagging
wait, you mean there are people who don't use this?
>>54918086
same
Its great, unfortunately my upload speed is shit
>>54918041
Hey that's me! Just kidding I'm VivaLaBambi
>>54917581
nobody ever downloads from me because I my internet a shit
>>54917581
Got it recently, digging a lot.
I'm currently replacing my whole musical library with better quality (erasing all 192kpbs & shit for 320) and it's very useful. Huge amounts of stuff you can't find in torrents.
Also I like to check what people are downloading from me, there's some funny tendencies going on some days.
>>54917581
best fucking program ever. using this since 2002. nuthin can top this.
>>54917773
You realize that people will take anything from you, right? You don't need to share something no one else has. Just share something. I get people taking everything from me. Some of the things people have most recently uploaded from me:
Scratch Acid
Juan Hidalgo
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Adam and the Ants
Elvis Presley
Wolfgang Dauner
Howlin' Wolf
Aqua
Don Bradshaw-Leather
REM
Blancmange
K.R.T. Wasitodiningrat
Otis Redding
Fisk Jubilee Singers
Candlemass
Frank Sinatra
Cop Shoot Cop
Roy Acuff
Tim Buckley
Serge Gainsbourg
blink-182
I don't even like some of the stuff people take from me (I just haven't gotten around to deleting it yet).
That said, I would say the big thing people seem to like the most (at least from my library) is NWW artists so if you've got any of those, share them.
>>54918277
>(erasing all 192kpbs & shit for 320)
That'll come in handy for all those times when your ears magically start picking up frequencies higher than 20k.
>>54917581
it's alright
I mostly just use the archive since it's faster
>>54918314
There's a huge difference between the 156k I downloaded years ago without looking and 320.
>>54918307
>NWW artists
does this mean artists from the nurse with wound list or is there a more obvious meaning for that acronym?
Anybody here use the android client goseek? Seems kinda shitty so far
>>54918365
156... maybe (in a blind AB test you might actually crack 50%). 192 is basically transparent. It's nice to have higher quality if you've got the space and a really high end system to play it on, but there's a very slim probability you'd do any better than chance distinguishing 192 vs 320 in a blind AB test.
>>54918307
The artists people got from me the most are by far Sonic Youth & Grateful Dead for some reason. With MM's last album, but that's more logic.
But I'm really glad when someone dl from me smth from a soundtrack I spent hours to find at a correct quality, feeluseful.gif
>>54917581
It's annoying as hell. I only use it when I have no other option.
>>54918441
Never heard of it UNTIL NOW
Looks like it's in beta but I'll give it a go since I'm running Android
>>54918441
I use it. It's okay if you really want to get an album and don't want to wait til you have a computer by you, but otherwise it's kinda meh.
But the fact that I can use slsk on my phone at all is a big plus.
Yep, use it all the time and a lot of people download from me, I probably have the biggest vaporwave collection on soulseek
slsk is normally third in my chain of downloading music. i do:
blogspots/general googling
the archive
slsk
rutracker
what.cd
basically can find anything this way.
>>54918465
Did the 192 vs 320 test not long ago. Got it right, with sennheiser hd555. I find the sound to be far wider, much more disinguishable bass and especially cymbals and high hats.
>>54918483
What do you find annoying?
>>54917606
respect
>>54918514
Your hierarchy is a perfectly inverted version of mine. What the fuck. It's like we're polar opposites.
I tried downloading is and the program would not finish installing...wtf?
>>54918511
You and me both. Mine borders 400 gigs and people are downloading shit from it all the time.
>>54918529
Sure you did.
>>54918552
Yeah mines around that number, half of which is because most of the files are in FLAC
>>54918534
People like to block me after downloading a certain amount, albums are often missing a large portion of the tracks, finding lossless files is a nightmare, and most of the time the files are transcodes. That plus the fact that downloads are unreliable, slow, and usually don't finish makes slsk a very unfavorable way of downloading music.
>>54917581
soulseek is great if you want no quality in the music you download whatsoever
>>54918555
Well, yes.

>2015
>not knowing how to check spectrals
>>54918612
>not knowing how to filter by FLAC or 320
Where did this myth originate from?
>>54918639
That's 128, not 192. That's also one sample, one time. Not a true AB test. A deaf chimp is going to nail that test at least 50% of the time on any given sample.
I remember using soulseek before torrents blew up, and I thought "oh well shit I can just torrent my music now."
NOPE. Anything remotely obscure or underground you're not going to find on torrent (or at least have a really hard time finding it). the slsk community knows good music. fuck the chatrooms though.

Yeah, i'll stick to torrents
>tfw 10,000 shared files

>>54918695
>fuck the chatrooms though
this, so much. those chatrooms are a fucking cesspool of retarded bullshit
>>54918718
>>54918726
How do you know torrents aren't transcoded?
>>54918695
You can find most obscurities on What. Stuff like rut is terrible for obscurities, though.
>>54918760
>190,000 shared files
>people just download whatever pitchfork gives BNM
>>54918718
See >>54918671
There's literally nobody to blame but yourself for keeping codec artifacts. You sound retarded.
>>54918794
They probably got banned.
>>54918785
I only download music from rutracker or sometimes what.cd if it is too obscure, at least they're more reliable that soulseek
>>54918785
You don't, that's why "filtering by FLAC or 320" is fucking useless regardless of where you're downloading from.
>>54918794
Pointing out that something being labeled as FLAC or 320 doesn't necessarily mean that it IS FLAC or 320 sounds retarded? You sound retarded.
>>54917581
Used and loved slsk for years. There have been literally two albums I wanted that I couldn't find on slsk since I've been using it, and one of those I checked out of curiosity to see if some one had it yet, and it was there. So yeah, slsk rules. Between slsk, the archive, sharethreads, and rutracker I haven't even tried to get a What.cd account yet.
>>54918852
Only if you're new.
>>54918857
So download one song and check it out. A bit of effort goes a long way. Torrents are for point and clicktards.
>>54918760
Shrek is love, Shrek is Corrie, Converse and PC Music
>>54918857
>I downloaded @ 128 CBR I don't need to filter by lossless formats, BUT WHY IS IT SO LOSSY.
>I torrented in FLAC the same logic doesn't apply fuckface I don't need to check the spectrals shut the fuck up LOL
>being assblasted over people preferring a different music sharing medium than you
Your underage is showing.
>>54918689
If you say so. As far as I'm concerned shit sounds better and more precise.
>>54918899
Yeah, you kinda have to do that regardless of where you download from. That whooshing sound was the point flying over your head.
>>54918947
>I downloaded muh v0 because muh filters
>it sounds so fucking awesome!
>what? no, of course it doesn't cut off at 15k, because nobody posts shitty, mislabeled transcodes on muh soulseek
Your mom wasn't even old enough to fuck when I started pirating, kiddo.
>>54918852
>what is transcoding? why would someone just lie on the internet?
>>54918991
Considering you didn't realize the difference between 128 and 192 and you don't understand how probability works for a single 2-outcome event, you'll forgive me for not giving a whole lot of weight to your opinion.
>>54919050
>>54919078
>>54919050
You sound pretty vehemently opposed to just checking the spectrals.
>what is transcoding? why would someone just lie on the internet?
>>54919092
Okay.
Is this comparable to what in terms of bitrate/size of library?
>>54919389
They're not really comparable.
What.CD is a torrent tracker where you can connect to multiple users to download files from an organized torrent group with (presumed) quality standards.
Slsk is a direct peer-to-peer service where you download from one user who has power over the download. The user chooses what files he uploads, and there isn't any sort of overarching structure past the user interface.
>the /mu/ chatroom right now
All of you are faggots.
Just uninstalled Soulseek and deleted all my pirated files.
Feels good.
>>54919777
trips confirm
>>54919723
Who here the /mu/ chatroom?
>>54919777
One day...
>>54918429
he means the NWW list, google it
>>54919997
>Who here the /mu/ chatroom?
Just lurkin in most of the time, rarely speaking.
Some nice people in there though. Rest is funny when they contain their autism
>>54919078
Yeah, actually I'd really like to know. Why would someone transcode to a higher bitrate, just for the hell of it?
I've been using soulseek ever since kazaa went out of style. It's nice to see something worthwhile last so long.
>>54921350
I was just mocking the notion that Soukseek has illegitimate or misrepresented bitrates or whatever. On the whole as a majority, they don't.
>>54920138
yeah, that's what I said
>>54918314
dude, if you can't distinguish between 192 and 320kbps, either your ears or your speakers/phone suck really hard
not even kidding
Can somebody with SLSK tell me if Michael Gira's book, the Consumer is on there? I don't want to download it for nothing.
>>54921720
just checked, and it is. dling it myself.
>>54921740
Hey awesome. Any chance you could put it on Mega? If it's too much trouble I'll just get SLSK
>>54921766
it's still in the queue, if it's finished any time soon i'll put it up.
>>54921720
I found it on What.CD and I'm downloading now. I'll upload if it finishes before the thread closes.
>>54921913
Download's done. Uploading now.
>>54921913
Where did you find it on what?
>>54921989
I just searched "the consumer michael gira" and it was the only result. Here's the link my man:
https://mega.co.nz/#!B9JllRKY!T1Bg_txv5MnWGpEj4NqRYh2qzH7Wa--WXZ25B2uzT98
>>54922029
Been looking for it forever. Thank you so so much anon.
>>54921913
>>54921983
Hoping it's not the same pdf I found on slsk. It's literally just scans of the open book. No text rendering for proper conversion to epub of mobi at all.
>>54922467
Sorry, looks like it's just scans. I doubt it was ever officially released in a digital format.
>>54922029
>>54922467
God dammit, it's the same shit. So bullshit.
Is there an epub out there or do I have to type it out myself? I should check #bookz when I get home, I guess.
>>54918639
>all these plebs
