I’ve just started using Soulseek and it’s great. I want to make sure that I’m being a good neighbour on it - do I need to do anything to ensure that my files are available for others to download? And do I need to structure directories e.g Artist name > Album name or does it work off metadata?

    I’m curious about your Bollywood folder. How big is it? I want to build a structured collection of old songs, and new ones too in as high quality as possible. I have nicotine+ installed but so far I couldn’t find anyone with an authoritative collection.

      Ahh, my bollywood folder is fairly small right now, under 20 tracks. I tend to fill my library either with albums I’m curious about, or with songs I’ve heard and really want to replay for the future.

      Once in a while, you can find people who have some decent collections, but since not everyone logs on at once, it’s sometimes a game of cat and mouse. If I can’t find it on the soulseek network, I’ll grab stuff from places like doubledouble, usually for things that are very new.
