soulseek

can't you block the fandango

blocking all people who lock anything and sending them messages telling them so.

on a related note does anyone have a RED invite?

lol

Omg lol

ahahaha

I just wonder why anyone would ever give someone like that any time whatsoever. There's almost nothing I haven't been able to find on SSK given time + tenacity, eff any twerp who guards their ones and zeros like they're the treasure of El Dorado.

Is there a list of the artists/bands that are excluded from the search engine?

I got The Beatles and Prince but it'd be interesting to see what else there is/ain't.

I've struggled with recent K and J pop. Not sure if they're excluded or just nobody has them, but I would imagine the former.

I have a spare couple of invites for jpopsuki, if yer interested Emily

I've found with some JPop stuff that it's just that nobody has it.

Oh hell yes, please Maresn3st.

Drop me a line on nakagincapsuletower at gmail dot com

I use soulseek but don’t understand what this means. There are excluded keywords?

Try searching for 'Beatles', nothing comes up, you could find stuff if you use other terms though.

From Soulseek forum:

Some searches are blocked. I can't go into too much detail about it except to say that we don't have a choice in the matter.

I can't go into too much detail, but 'beatles' is one of the terms we have to filter for legal reasons.

i think beyonce is another one

foreign stuff being missing is typically just no one has it

other filtered acts i remember off the top of my head are chvrches and rihanna

scramoutcha doesn't own any of their stuff. it's all zip files to torrents from redacted. the more people block em the better.

Who?

scramoutcha

i have 2 jpopsuki invites as well if someone wants em

A little silhouetto of a man who has (allegedly) a huge selection of lossless files that he locks and will only let other users d/l from him if they trade him something he wants.

"hed kandi" doesn't work but "kandi" does and then you can filter with using "hed"

Yeah, I think I used to be able to find individual songs using creative search terms (e.g. a couple of words from a song title reversed), but that was a few years ago.

foreign stuff being missing is typically just no one has it

Yeah, but I'm talking like almost Blackpink levels of pop for the most part. Stuff that I would definitely expect someone to have, coming up with zero results. P sure that's keyword exclusion. (I wish I could remember an exact example of who I was searching for, don't think it actually *was* Blackpink in any of the cases.)

I think even The Db's are blocked

might just be the problem it has with apostrophes

I didn't know there was any search blocking on Soulseek. "beatles" indeed no results!

couple of words from a song title reversed

hey jude and "Hey Jude" and jude hey gave me a load of good results. hey jude, hey just turned up some medleys with "Hey Jude" in them. Don't think there is song title filtering?

might just be the problem it has with apostrophes

It seems good at including punctuation right where you use it. "the db's" is blocked. No results. Funnily "db's" alone is not blocked. And "the dbs" works for the many people who have their files named that way.

"who's zoomin' who" also no problem.

yeah slsk search is a piece of shit

"hed kandi" doesn't work but "kandi" does and then you can filter with using "hed"

rutracker for pop music tbh.

i usually don't have much trouble finding that sort of stuff on soulseek, but sometimes it's just no one's online & someone has it the next day

Every time I use this now, I have to uninstall and reinstall--something about ports. I reinstall and it works fine--till I log off. Fix?

in the comment tag of something i downloaded:

Thank you for download my friend. I hope you will enjoy. Keep yourself from soulless and pop music. And be yourself.

xp it's to do with port forwarding and your internet router. you need to go into your router settings and allow port forwarding and all that business. not sure exactly what, sorry!

There’s a song that’s been remotely queued in my list for over a year now. How does that happen?

I have a metal demo queued that only one user has shared, he's almost never on and when he is I'm at like 5,000th in the list, just enjoying the absurdity of it at this point.

Oh it's been queued for like 2.5 years now.

Times like that you miss Audiogalaxy's ability to continue downloading the file from other users if the one goes offline

That’s fine if more than one person has that file.

Don't some users bump up downloaders based on their "credentials" or whatever they use to judge them? So if you don't have anything they want, they'll just constantly promote others downloads who do.

idk if anyone does that, but i have noticed a lot of people think they do. i get people asking if i'll bump them to the front and i'm like no i can't even look at my uploads without crashing slsk idk what goes on over there

iirc you'd have to leave your computer/soulseek on all the time to retain your place in queue?

yep that's how it works.
