1,399 i think.... |
||||||||
|
|

About 3,000. As soon as I download something, I organize it the way I want then pop it right back into the shared directory. |

about 8 inches...ah, oh, about 2,000 --- 4,000 if soulseek will ever let me share most of my MP3s without crashing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
about 600 files, the bulk of it being autechre |

Couple thousand, I guess. But somebody messaged me and told me to ''share or be banned''... I don't think I'm sharing ANY... my settings point to the wrong directory, because I had to move my files a couple weeks ago. And when I try to point to the directory I WANT to share, the thing freezes while scanning the new directory, so I don't think I can share ANYTHING until this stops fucking up. Hopefully a less buggy version coming up will do the trick. |

The funniest is when you start using a P2P program and you don't even know how to set your shared directory. Some self righteous fucker starts cancelling your DLs because you're not sharing. You think to yourself, perhaps if you (and likeminded people) let me download I might have something to share! |

They all say that :) |

yeah ophecks, that's exactly the same problem i've been having |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i don't use it - i prefer to buy the music so that the labels will keep putting out music - soulseek kills small record labels and cosequently one day all we will be able to hear is britney and steps ....also you can mix records better - tractor is shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so we should all download britney spears from now on? |
||||||||
|
|

|

It's a start. |

I think it's way too early to tell if "soulseek kills small record labels." Baen Books (small publisher of sci-fi/fantasy) has been experimenting with an "open library" concept and found that it actually increased sales. Go figure. |

all the poll results say that p2p helps music in general. of course only good ones cause the bad ones are losing like they always did 8:) |
||||||||
|

|
|
a very interesting discussion/poll about the subject can be found . to summarize it, the crushing majority of users buy as much or more music since they've started using soulseek. |

If it wasn't for Napster, RDJ (well, the record company, anyway), wouldn't have got the 30 bucks I spent on Drukqs. |

soulseek is not working for me.. so i dunno... i use audiogalaxy instead... works fine. |

well cd sales in germany have gone down by 70% since file sharing - that's overall - pretty fucked eh? i think it's bollocks that more people buy more music after downloading it - you lot were just comparing your vast mp3 collections - surley you don't have that many cd's and records?? Down load britney spears if you want - what i'm saying is i don't use soulseek cos i t does actually have a detrimental effect on the sale of records and will lead to loads of small labels closing |

nononono; i don`t believe ! cd selling has IMPROVED with p2p ! of course there are fuckers around who are not interested in buyin, but i am SURE they didn`t before p2p and they will not even if those networks go down ! for me - i find all those great releases before the oficial date ! when they are i out i buy them !!! (like i did 23 times only with afx cds ;)) |

the situation in the genre we're dealing with isn't the same as that overall. most music sold anywhere is music that's in the mainstream, made by manufactured artists and bands or just extremely well-selling ones. people who are interested in that kind of music are usually just that, interested in the music and nothing beyond. they don't feel any real obligation to the artist. in our genre of fairly obscure electronic music, there is much more of a loyalty to the artists producing it, since fans realize they're obviously not doing anywhere as well as mainstream artists, and additionally because electronic music is a personal, more intimate creation. but even ignoring that, the value in sharing electronic music lies in the exposure it awards something that so direly needs it. as a self-proclaimed fan, I'm amazed by the numbers of good artists in the genre I discover on a regular basis. and file sharing is the only reason I became a fan in the first place (after to a batch of randomly downloaded aphex twin mp3s, bucephalus bouncing ball did me in :). pointing out that people have way more mp3 albums than CDs is a moot point. I have about 600 albums in mp3 format and about 80 albums that I actually bought. forget that I'd never own any of those 80 CDs if it wasn't for file-sharing, but the reason I have so many more mp3 albums isn't because I don't want to pay for them, it's because I'm going through a constant process of experimenting and appraising them. if I decide I don't like something, I delete it. if I do, I buy it. then again there are people who don't even have the option of buying albums simply because they have no money. those people tend to build their familiarity with the genre and its artists until such a point where they are capable of paying for albums and concerts. the day may come when the music we're into is so much more popular than it is today that those 30% of lost sales will actually have anything to do with it. until then, electronic music can only benefit from being shared thr |
