hey im a noob with music stuff, why would this be preferable to soulseek?
It's not they probably just don't know about soulseek / nicotine+
It's just so much better than any other method I have to assume anyone using these overly complicated methods just doesnt know
Just the idea of downloading playlists instead of albums / discographies feels so incredibly icky to me
Nicotine+ is OK, I upload about a tb a month on there and occasionally I find a missing track I can't find on Deezer, Qobuz or Bandcamp. Turns out other people aren't just imperfect versions of you.
Soulseek is good for downloading albums and discographies, soundiiz, qobuz-dl and deemix-gui are good for that and also playlists of whatever. It's also a good way to get FLACs. I download genre mixes, pitchfork's top albums, it's a good way to get 80gb of music in a night. It's taken me 3 months to get that much off Soulseek. Sometimes you want to try out artists without downloading their whole discography.
