Interesting reading the messageboard on there... What do you think of the influx of new ''st00pid pop n00bs'' on there since the fall of the almighty Audiogalaxy? I frankly don't care... not like you can't find all the good underground stuff there... but then again, could this overload of users shut the thing down? It's working perfect for me. Really funny reading about all the elitist snobs on there, snivelling and whining. But I'm thinking maybe they have a point, but I don't have my mind made up on this subject yet. Also, forgive me Father, for I have sinned... I showed a n00b the way to Soulseek.org so she could download some Kylie Minogue... |

It's already affected me directly. I used to share a fair bit of non-electronic stuff, just cause everything's in one big directory on my machine and I'm lazy. In the last day or two, I had hundreds and hundreds of queued downloads for these tracks. So I had to unshare all non-electronic stuff. It seems there are a lot of elitist whiners on soulseek (or at least they are a vocal minority), but they do have a point: if there are a lot of people sharing stuff from RIAA-affiliated labels, the RIAA will take notice and then no more soulseek. When are we going to get off this central indexed server model for p2p? We need gnutella to grow up fast. |

I don't really care, I don't read what they have to say and if I can't handle the load i'll just share less files. Seeing as how there's more people on it now it's not like i'm doing the soulseek community a disservice. If there's more people sharing pop music i'm all for it, i've been trying to get my hands on some fucking Huey Lewis albums for a long time but i'll be damned if i'm going to pay for them. |

very good whale i agree. stop putting pop music on there to keep soulseek alive!!!!!!! everyone remove anything remotely pop! |
||||||||

Yeah, that's true. This IS a nice haven for underground stuff, and now it's going to be more in the spotlights of the legal police... But you can't stop Blink 182 fans from coming on... fuck. But they have a right to use a free program, too. Quite a conundrum. |

All people who love electronic music are invited to stay ! The rest can just fuck off ! Simple as that. No seriously, I hope SLSK doesnt vecome just another Filesharing tool, the main focus should stay on ELECTRONIC MUSIC ! |

i hope soulseek doesn't get any bigger! its perfect at this size.... u can find anything and its still personal enough that u can talk to people! everyone knows who runs it! (Nir) kazaa cant match that..... and its small enough to.... 'stay under the radar'... not attract enough attention to get shut down? if it were ever to become popular enough to get shut down........... i dont know what i'd do theres no other way to get good non-popular music..... and the sense of community is another plus..... talking to people about music is as important as getting the music itself, for me |

Someone with a meaty modem (arf) could probably set up an open nap p2p server. Perhaps? I dont know... |

CANT WE JUST BAN NON-ELECTRONIC MEMBERS? i mean... its fine to have non electronic music on there.... great, even but if someone comes on w/ buckets 'oh blink or somes shit like that..... and has never HEARD of afx... (u dont have to like him..... i guess;).... ...then couldn't they just NOT be allowed on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

We don't even need to set up one, there are lots of good opennap servers already out there, and several with electronic music fans as well. |

Hey Monoid I'm with you 100%...Soulseek should stay for us,electronic music/IDM lovers...Just for us to share rare-hard-to-find mp3,or just to sample artists....But I said yesterday,support our artists,always... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The pop kids have radio and MTV to sample the artists. Electronic doesnt get that sort of coverage, so we need soulseek for us! (even though it doesnt work for me :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good point! soulseek should stay electronic! pop people have other means... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For what I need it,it works perfectly..Just like electronic music performances,they have a bunch of excellent ones..And har-to-find songs....And yes,you can build a whole library of bits-n-bites of different mp3.......We need Soulseek just for us.......==) |

We need an ''idiot filter''... anyone here an accomplished inventor? How exactly can you go about banning the ''inferior'' users... it's hard to keep this thing exclusive to electronic fans. Sooo hard. *cries Do your part... scan other people's files. If they DON'T have an single Aphex Twin album, acuse them of touching your ''special place'' and get em' banned! That should work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good-hearted users -like u and me- would simply report those pop people who deserved to be kicked.... and they would be banned reviewed by someone in charge first, of course they would just peak at their files..... if its all creed n shit... and no electronica... they bye bye |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, sorry, i didn't read your post carefully:) what im saying is just do that actually get them banned |

It's cruel, and I'd actually feel bad for the silly little boys and girls who want their Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, but it sadly has to be done. Pack up and leave us alone, pretend you never saw us, don't get the RIAA interested. I don't feel so special anymore, there's too many unspecial mainstreamers around! Gah! Get them out of our secret clubhouse. |

Nir who runs soulseek will ba well aware of the prospects of the RIAA, I'm sure he'll come up with something...but what's wrong with pop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't really mind them but I don't want the RIAA to hit Soulseek next. I'm gonna "un-share" all my mainstream or popular stuff. I am gonna leave some of my non-electronic stuff there but nothing overly popular :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes, exactly ;) |

nothing will ever replace audiogalaxy, i got so many obscure (non-electronic) tracks there that probably no one else on soulseek has ever heard of, let alone have on their hard drive.. the final insult is that i don't even have a record of the 66 songs i had in my AG queue, who knows what the fuck i wanted.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like the AG'ers. it was quite a massive flood they brought on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Did they go in your room and cause havoq hevquip? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! not really jivverdicker. they come across as being such leeches though because it's like "gasp! AG has been shut down! onto the next piracy program!" i mean if soulseek closes, i'm not going to freak out and flood another program with other slskers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, the part that sucks is the unwanted attention now given to soulseek by the RIAA and the industry in general. i don't think most users really mind the more "mainstream" listeners downloading and sharing music on slsk, but the more users and the more non-electronic users the closer soulseek comes to meeting the fate of napster, AG, kazaa (soon), etc. and i think that would've been avoided if not for the audiogalaxy thaaang (why did i write that). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how come Kazaa hasnt been hit by the RIAA? Are they working their way down a list? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kazaa have been in trouble with the RIAA for months, they just haven't pulled the plug yet. AG did it all of a sudden. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think a solution to the soulseek problem (which isn't how to be mean to mainstream music fans, but how to keep the RIAA away) is to just stop accepting new users. |
