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.

    Not a server solution but it’s not a desktop app. On androids there’s Seeker that does an excellent job of connecting to the network and downloading what you want.

      My basic point stands. It’s a shame because the network would be even better if folks could run 24/7 servers easily, like people do with torrents.
