Got tired with it. Fired up ytdlp( it was complex for me. So I used an android app called ytdlnis) and downloaded some music. I can't do it in one day so still downloading.

Soulseek is nice. Community of people sharing their music libraries with each other.

When I was listening to obscure krautrock bands which were nowhere to be found on Spotify or YT Music, Soulseek came to rescue. Also, funnily, it is easier to get flac from there than 320kbps mp3 of various albums. The former is more ubiquitous there.

Nicotine+ is an open source client for the soulseek network.

Somehow it's the only old-school P2P network that's not only survived, but still thrives even today. So many rare songs on there. It turned 24 years old last month. All the others from the same era (like Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, etc) are long gone. ed2k is still around but mostly dead.

The chat rooms are also old-school unmoderated chat rooms, so expect the worst of humanity to be in there.

If you have a home server, slskd is great. It's an alternate Soulseek app that's a server with a web UI.

In my experience in the cesspool of the chat lobbies it’s mostly anti-lgbt neo-nazis but they do have decent music.

The chat is useless most of the times. The users troll each other and the unmoderated nature means racism is quite common as well. That being said, there are the odd decent folks as well. I had a decent conversation with a guy once there and he even donated 5 days of Soulseek privileges to me; sadly these type of conversations are forgotten in the cesspool that is the chatroom there.
