Hey guys I was wondering what the best public music tracker is?
I’ve been using Spotify for a few years now and today I couldn’t access my account. Here I found out they suspended my account claiming I was trying to download their music.
After contacting them they said it was probably a false positive and they can fix my account ‘in a few days most likely’.
After all of this I’m more interested in pirating my music just like I do with movies/tv shows/games :P.
I’ve been using Soulseek for years. I recommend it. It’s not torrents, but P2P. But you can find anything… I use Nicotine+ as my client. Not sure what the Windows client is (Perhaps just Soulseek?). Slsk.org.
Thanks I’ll check this out!
Edit: I just installed Nicotine+ (there was also a Windows version). Wow this feels like the old KaZaa etc days haha. Everything I search for is here, thank you!
No problem. I listen to a lot of hard to find artists, and Ive never had an issue finding them there. If you’re picky about formats and naming, Musicbrainz Picaard is still the best (IMO) for organizing everything…
I like slsk, but it has no curation. If you don’t care about missing tracks, formats, renaming, it’s good. Slsk was very active in the early 2000s, today it’s not the same.
I have it as a backup when I can’t find something on private trackers. Usually you find most stuff on private trackers than soulseek.
I took a look at the study material for the RED interview and I’m pretty familiar with what’s there so I joined the queue for the RED interview. Wish me luck :P
Good luck.
Soulseek is great. I use it to get anything obscure that isn’t on Spotify or bandcamp or whatever. Old european prog is generally hard to find ;)
Also the educated /g/ users are recommending Soulseek too. It must be good, but I got really used to Spotify now.
