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.

freakin’ awesome! i used soulseek on windows ages ago and i totally forgot about it. two weeks ago a friend asked for my help to set it up and i went looking for open source alternatives and found Nicotine+
i’m awe struck with it! i’m someone who keeps a local music library and torrenting has been getting worse in this department, specially with newer music. how could i have forgotten about this…
i didn’t even remeber you could search the whole network for titles lol, i expected to browse folders, user by user haha
i’m currently going over all my newpipe playlists of less-mainstream artists
i’ve got a question: when searching for files, the grayed out ones are offline peers or ‘locked’ files?
