I've just started using Soulseek and it's great. I want to make sure that I'm being a good neighbour on it - do I need to do anything to ensure that my files are available for others to download? And do I need to structure directories e.g Artist name > Album name or does it work off metadata?

Artist name, album name and track name should exist in file name or parent folder/s. Does not use metadata. You should open soulseeks port in your router. Maybe your router has upnp enabled, if so, you can enable upnp in your soulseek client and you are good to go. If you do not open the port, only users with open port can download from you. Remember to share the music you download too. Welcome to slsk :)
