So I've been getting back into torrenting because I'm fed up with the inability to actually own the music I pay for. I used to torrent a lot back in the day, mostly music with a bit of anime and obscure/foreign movies and TV shows here and there, but that was a long time ago. I had been going back to the most famous of all coastal bodies of water where buccaneers reside, but I just tried too go there only to find it's currently not working. I know from lurking here that 1337x and rargb are no longer safe and LT doesn't have much to offer. All I want is music, but it seems most places are geared towards TV and movies. Where does an audiophile turn to in times like these?

    Soulseek is the way to go for music, way quicker and easier to find shit than torrents

      Ok, I gave in and while it's a little confusing, I already have one of the albums I was looking for and it's flac. Thanks for twisting my arm!

        If what you're looking for it's not a common find or just very rare, you can put it on your wishlist searches and you may eventually get a hit. You don't need to leave the app open all the time (although that'd be ideal), you can just leave it on your wishlist and it'll be searched automatically everytime you open it.

      Absolutely. Soulseek really is incomparable. And it has the added advantage of being a throwback to the days of p2p sharing through dedicated clients.
