I still sticking with Qobuz. 70% of the time I listen to music I try to discover new artists and find obscure stuff. It would be way to time consuming to download random stuff via. Soulseek in hope to find a single track I like. So the discoverability of streaming services is unbeaten.
If I like an Artist, I either download the tracks on Soulseek (Which is pain in the ass in my opinion) or I buy it via. bandcamp to add the to my offline collection.
If I am searching for something I mostly will find it, but only 1/4 of my downloads complete. Most of the time the downloads stuck at the status “queued” and won’t download. I have to find at least 4 different sources to get the Track I want. I’m using Nicotine+.
Yes. Always. About 60Gb. Maybe it’s the Client but I don’t think this will solve the problem but I will try soulseekQt.
Edit: Wow. I think this was the solution! With the OG Soulseek Client every request is downloading within seconds! The Client looks a little bit out of date, but if it works, I don’t mind. Surprisingly I get some bot messages every few request to prove I’m human. I never got these kind of messages with Nicotine+. Thank you very much!

Use qobuz, i like its option to download the tracks. Artist selection is pretty reasonable for me
Man I have zero issues with Soulseek. I’ve gotten so much stuff from there. Even obscure. What struggles do you have with it?

Are you sharing too? Most people on there autoblock transfers if the DLer isn’t sharing.
I haven’t used Nicotine+ so I can’t be sure there isn’t something with that. I just use the soulseekQt client.
