But use nicotine+ as the client instead of soulseekqt. Is better.
I use Slskd
Runs as a web app, so I can remotely start downloads and have them drop into my music server
Hell yeah that sounds good too!
As a new user of ss/nicotine+, I absolutely love it. Even found some TV episodes I've been missing. I need to figure out how to share over VPN though, since my VPN doesn't support port forwarding :(
Yeah mine used to support port forwarding and I'm still mad they stopped. You can use the VPN though and slsk without PF, but you'll only be able to connect to people who do PF, so you just limit your connectability.
Why is nicotine+ better?
Try soulseek, has been a while since i used it but you can find almost anything there from my experience and in good quality too

I have downloaded 4TB of flac from Deezer using DeeMix downloader. U now need a premium account for flac and DeeMix is no longer supported but it still works.
I use a similar approach with Tidal and Tidal-Media-Downloader. I use a paid Tidal account to integrate into my Plex library, then scripted downloads to ensure that stuff stays in my Plex library.
What kind of files can you get, and do they come tagged well?
I get .flac files that are generally tagged with everything except genre. Bandcamp (where I legally obtain files when I can) doesn't tag genre either, so it's at least consistent across my library.
Good to know, thank you!
(Yeah, weird that Bandcamp has zero genre tags, ever!)
Deemix is so good. It's a great benefit to having a legit sub.
ARLs for FLACs are easily available. So Deemix still works smoothly.
The only issue I have found is that it often doesn't download LRC files.
1337x.to is where I got most of my music. You can find it in FLAC form with high bit and sample rates.
Thanks for the response. That seems to work alright for downloading albums, but I'm ideally looking for something that can download specific songs, tho I will look into torrents more, because I can't imagine people are torrenting singular songs.
Those happen to be two of the three I have in my bookmarks, the third being https://doubledouble.top
Interesting, thank you
