Perfect. Thank you.

not everything needs to be a dockerized web app for god's sake. just use Nicotine+
Easier to keep shares online 24/7 with a dockerised we app vs a desktop application I need to be logged in to a system for it to run. Best of both worlds would be a Nicotine+ like desktop fronted app that talked to the server component, but I don't think there is such a ui app for slskd.
The link I supplied has docker as an "option".
You just be you, though, for god's sake.
Sorry, just poking at ya. Having these apps in docker does have its use cases, though. I run it in docker on my NAS since that’s where all my media files are, and I like for it to always be available to other downloaders even if my desktop is off.
everything that isn't a dockerized container won't go into my server
Came to say the same! 👍
rutracker always has legit flac rips, some on soulseek can be fake
And when a source isn't clear, they mark the post as #doubtful.
It is where I get my music too. They even have tons of Vinyl or SACD rips, among other hi-res formats, if you're into that.
Soulseek
Use Nicotine+ on desktop and Seeker on Android.
Sweet! I didn't know about Seeker!

They are rebranding to a new website it is faster imo I don't like how when u unzip the files there is no parent folder however you have to make that.
Edit: New site https://lucida.to/
There's discord groups but they're hard to find because of snitches. I got in early so I have some access now but it's hard for newcomers
deezer arls and qobuz access tokens from https://rentry.org/firehawk52 to dowload with https://github.com/nathom/streamrip

FNP, TL, ST are good. Any general purpose PT is nice since you're probably never getting into RED or OPS anyways haha. Like me :(
Can you expand the acronyms?
Private trackers. I think common ones. If you search them with "tracker" you'll probably find them.
Isn't OPS relatively easy to interview in to?
I don't know about OPS but Redacted wasn't hard to interview into.
OPS is pretty easy to get into. The wait times for interviews can be long, but much much better than RED. The actual interview is pretty easy too imo. Just make sure to read through the interview prep.
I didn't know OPS provided interviews? If so, that'd be great since I've been wanting to join for months.
Yeah, just make sure you read up on the study material and understand it all well enough. I believe they hold interviews during the weekends and the wait times vary throughout the weekend but for me I had to wait about 3 or 4 hours before getting an interview.
They’re on CDs, you just need some gumption
This. Physical media is awesome to own, and ripping extremely high-quality copies is actually pretty easy, just time-consuming.
I recommend EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It's free and there are some awesome guides online for setting it to get the best quality for your rips.
SLSK, private trackers, public trackers, random websites, open directories, ripping your own CDs.
Another way that needs a credit card:
Make a disposable e-mail, sign up for a month trial for Qobuz or Tidal and use a program like StreamRip to just download high-quality music straight from the platform.
When the trial ends, just make a new e-mail and repeat.
Someone mentioned Lucida here, which is more straightforward, but I found it slow and often failing. Once you're signed up, downloading is easy and it's the easiest way to get more obscure stuff in high quality.
Just use SoulSeekQt and filter for .flac, if the song you're looking for was ever released on flac it'll be there
Is there any site that gives you all the different music services URLs, like a searcher that makes it easier?
The best way for me that I found is using Soulseek, sadly it's proprietary but it's really nice as a lot of people share on it
