Title: Music downloads and fun stuff like that
Post by: Misereatur on 24 Jun 2006, 16:35: I've been downloading music almost exclusively from Soulseek (http://www.slsknet.org), mostly because of all the obscure music I could find there. But, soulseek has a lot of problams and bugs, and lately it started getting on my nerves.

So anyway, I'm looking for a new music download softwere. Recommendations?
Of course, I'll keep using soulseek, I'm just looking for somthing to use when soulseek is acting up.

p.s.
If your a soulseek user, post your user name and I'll add you to my list, we can start a QC chat room and all.
Also, I'm not a big fan of torrents,

DC can be annoying sometimes, but no more so than when you can't get a seed with BT. The best thing about DC is how much new, crazy and entirely unexpected music, literature, films and whatnot you can pick up just browsing through peoples file-lists.

Like, you search up one artist, get that person's file list, browse through that, see another artist, download an album of that, search for more of that artist, find another user, look through their stuff, find a ton more... you can pretty much spend hours doing it. I do.

Post by: Rubby on 24 Jun 2006, 18:13: My SoulSeek name is my user name. It's my username for everything, and luckily it isn't often taken. I'm more of a torrent guy myself though.

Post by: Tokuma on 27 Jun 2006, 22:21: I use a lot of BitTorrent, in fact that's how I got most of my music. I haven't seen much of soulseek, but it sounds intresting. Lately I have been getting my music legally. Something that I haven't done in a long while. For that I use E-Music, which rocks.

Post by: Storm Rider on 27 Jun 2006, 22:28: I use BitTorrent and LimeWire, mostly. I have Soulseek, but never figured out how to use it, and quite frankly I am too lazy to download/set up DC++.
