"E-Digging" 101: Soulseek Tips & Tricks
I have been downloading songs online for a LOOONG time. Since napster was
new (and free), back when Audiogalaxy was an absolute beast, when
Filetopia was really popping, etc, etc... Soulseek (A peer to peer file
sharing program) may very well be the greatest thing in the world for
those that want to just go in and download whole albums, of any genre (not
just soul). So go download Soulseek right now and set it up, it takes
about a minute in total and it will absolutely be worth your time. Here
are some tips for power usage on Soulseek...
* Tip 1: Pay up and donate to Soulseek. For $5 a month you gain "Download
Privileges", which basically allow you to jump ahead of everyone in line
(without privileges) to download tracks. Without privileges it is possible
for you to NEVER be able to download a track from someone, cus privileged
people will move ahead first. So pay up...
* Tip 2: Build up your wishlist. When you add an artist, song, album name
to your wishlist, whenever anyone who is sharing a file with that name
logs on, it will pop up so you can download it. It's like a permanent
search feature working for you.
* Tip 3: Build up your friends list. Check out a few of the chat rooms and
see who is in there. If they are in a funk/soul room, there will probably
be some people sharing funk & soul records in the room... befriend them.
They have an option to search only your friends' files. So make sure to
get a lot of the heavyweight sharers on your list. Also realize that when
someone adds you as a friend, you automatically jump in front of EVERYONE
(Including those with privileges) when you download something from them.
So share good stuff & it will help you download quicker.
* Tip 4: Make sure you share your files. You are allowed to ban users from
downloading your files on SS. For some reason people on Soulseek can be
extremely bitch ass when it comes to sharing files and will ban you just
cus they don't like what your files look like. So be sure to share as much
music as possible.
* Tip 4b: Beware of general bitchassness! You will come across people on
Soulseek that guard some of their music like they created it their self,
even though they downloaded it from someone else online. Beware of them.
Also realize a lot of people have rules on how many songs you can queue up
at once. Most only let you download 1 or 2 folders at once. It's customary
to list your download rules in your "User Info" section.
* Tip 5: If you end up sampling an mp3, please be aware that there are
different qualities of mp3. Ideally you want a 320 bitrate mp3, thats the
best out there. Even some pro engineers I know said it's not all that bad
for sampling purposes. Personally, I don't like sampling 192 bitrates or
lower. When you do a search you can click on the Attributes tab and order
the files by bitrate, so the nice 320 bit mp3's will jump to the top of
your search.
* Tip 6: Buy vinyl & cd's Although a good mp3 rip can sound pretty good.
Don't neglect to buy the real thing. I ALWAYS try to track down as clean
and crispy a version of a sample as possible. Pretty much everything out
there is being reissued nowadays anyway, so it wont be hard to find.
Consider it an investment into your beats. If you want that extra
knock/feeling/sizzle/etc, forgo the mp3 & buy the real deal.
