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?

    Concerning how soulseek works, as I understand it, it’s basically like the bittorrent protocol, just another peer-to-peer sharing protocol.

    As to your collection, share away! You never know how far the happiness can go when the right collection is discovered!

      Haven’t gotten around to it just yet, but I did tag all the music with the proper metadata. I can’t rip anything off my iPod 1st and 2nd gens from my collection yet, but they’re stuffed full of music. I just need the proper firewire, but they seem to be more expensive than the units…

      I need to order the music by genre folders now. Today I just got the EddieVPN client for Nobara working. I didn’t realize it was as easy as going to the Eddie site and getting the RPM; I’ve been too spoiled with the Arch AUR having everything I need in one place.

      I’m almost there, though. I’ll have the music up soon.

        Oh yeah, I almost forgot firewire was a thing haha, glad that didn’t catch on. Hope you can get those tunes somehow, I know I wish I still had my music collection from my old mp3 players, or even the ipod shuffle and 1st gen nano I used to rock back in the day.

        On nice, I went with airvpn too, and also use Nobara, what a coincidence?!
