But use nicotine+ as the client instead of soulseekqt. Is better.
I use Slskd
Runs as a web app, so I can remotely start downloads and have them drop into my music server
Hell yeah that sounds good too!
As a new user of ss/nicotine+, I absolutely love it. Even found some TV episodes I've been missing. I need to figure out how to share over VPN though, since my VPN doesn't support port forwarding :(
Yeah mine used to support port forwarding and I'm still mad they stopped. You can use the VPN though and slsk without PF, but you'll only be able to connect to people who do PF, so you just limit your connectability.
Does it work better than the slsknet.org client?
Why is nicotine+ better?

Try soulseek, has been a while since i used it but you can find almost anything there from my experience and in good quality too
I have downloaded 4TB of flac from Deezer using DeeMix downloader. U now need a premium account for flac and DeeMix is no longer supported but it still works.
Deemix is so good. It's a great benefit to having a legit sub.
I use a similar approach with Tidal and Tidal-Media-Downloader. I use a paid Tidal account to integrate into my Plex library, then scripted downloads to ensure that stuff stays in my Plex library.
What kind of files can you get, and do they come tagged well?
I get .flac files that are generally tagged with everything except genre. Bandcamp (where I legally obtain files when I can) doesn't tag genre either, so it's at least consistent across my library.
Good to know, thank you!
(Yeah, weird that Bandcamp has zero genre tags, ever!)
ARLs for FLACs are easily available. So Deemix still works smoothly.
The only issue I have found is that it often doesn't download LRC files.
I'm getting all my music for free from Youtube Music with yt-dlp
Quality of YouTube downloads ain't anywhere near the 'high quality' OP is after.
Propably yes, but not because of the codec google uses.
Based retard
Best you get from YouTube is 128kbps (ish, it's VBR) without paying or 256kbps with Premium. I would consider high quality to start at 320kbps minimum.
That's not true, youtube uses opus with vbr up to 160kpbs without premium. Premium gets 256kbps aac. 320kbps with opus is overkill
Imo Yt Music has way better quality than atleast Spotify and it has almost everything you'd ever need
You are correct that it's 160kbps, I spoke a bit too vaguely as most of them are listed between ~95-130 by my music software instead of the peak of 160. I still maintain that YT Premium are "good enough" and not "high quality", but that's a highly subjective statement. The point remains though that you cannot get that 256kbps without paying.
Those happen to be two of the three I have in my bookmarks, the third being https://doubledouble.top
Interesting, thank you
