Nicotine+

Nicotine+ is a graphical client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network.

Nicotine+ aims to be a pleasant, free and open source (FOSS) alternative to the official Soulseek client, providing additional functionality while keeping current with the Soulseek protocol.

Soulseek is a file sharing network for mostly Music but also other files. The most available format for songs are MP3, M4A and FLAC. Almost any song/album is on there so you will have no problem finding what you need. You need to share files yourself otherwise there is a possibility you will get banned. I added a YouTube video tutorial so you can understand it better.

    How is the Soulseek community these days? I used to use it heavily up to more than a decade ago, when I started streaming for convenience. Is there still a meaningful number of people to browse and download from?

      Very strong. Soulseek kinda drifted to mostly high quality music because the protocol isn’t a good option for large files. It would be interesting to see a Soulseek network v3 upgraded with torrent-like features…
