I haven't used soulseek in probably a decade but are there really people in there expecting payment to let you download music from them?? wtf...
Yeah, I thought Soulseek went the way of Limewire and Kazaa when things like Pirate Bay and whatnot became go-to sites…
I mean, back in the day it was amazing, anything I wanted I could just about find. Random One Hit Wonder Japanese pop-punk band that I only heard about in passing? Yeah I could find their whole discography on Soulseek. It was awesome. I wish I could remember that band now..
I think it is still pretty great, at least for the genre that I listen to it is. You will not find this music on traditional torrent sites and the like where as you can find a lot of it on soulseek. Private trackers may have more of these releases but I cannot be fucked with all that bs.
Sadly yes, I see a lot of people (although it may be more isolated to the kinds of music I search out) who have wishlists of releases they are willing to swap some files with and I have also seen a lot of people saying they will unlock files in exchange for bandcamp vouchers and the like.
