Just got a new Mac. I used Soulseek before on my PC and always found it excellent. The Mac version doesn't work.
What should I use???

torrents
and use transmission as yr client.
^
transmission = awesome.
i use it on linux
Stop stealing music?
utorrent
works.
blogs and forums...?
That's what i use. Slsk is dead and i'm too stupid to use torrents.
blogs and forums yes yes
sign up for a rapidshare account
although I prefer to download LP rips and stuff that is out of print and unavailable on CD blah blah
The quality is usally not up to my audiophile standards but what can you do, sometimes the only way to get something is on a blog
I saw Transmission recommended
But where do I actually find the tracks??
sorry for being so stooopid!
Soulseex
Not pretty, but it works.
If you've been trying Solarseek, last I checked it was still in beta - I avoided it simply because it was still in development and clearly had issues.
also, the download section on
www.afterthepostrock.com
keeps me busy every weekend.
you'll need an account.
Thanks guys
I love DIS!
Still haven't quite got it
If I want to download say Neil Young - Love and Only Love. I would type that into google, find it, then use Transmission to download it?
There is not a central bank of tunes I can search?
Cause when I type that into google all I get is lyrics sites and paid for music stores??
Scapetorrent
is that one any good?
Others?
Torrents
are mainly used for transporting numerous files (i.e., albums as opposed to individual songs). You can, however use selective downloading with Transmission and Azureus to grab individual songs.
Regarding the obtaining of said songs, unless you're a member of a private tracker, then your best bet is through public trackers like demonoid or thepiratebay.
Not that I'm condoning or recommending this, what with illegality and the possibility of a BPI lawsuit and whatnot.
That's a much clearer explantion
than I could find online anywhere.
cheers
