News like this make me sad. I have not been able to replicate the amazing experience I had with Audiogalaxy or Soulseek. By looking for things you liked you could then search what the people who had that music also had lying around and I discovered so much great stuff that way. My taste in music is extremely eclectic but since I’ve been limited to Spotify, I am rarely discovering weird music anymore. Fuck corporations.

Thanks. I just tried it and remembered why it wouldn’t work. It requires me to pass through a port in my router. That’s something I just don’t do anymore. The internet is a scary place these days, full of lawyers and other bad actors.
Don’t know that I would be active enough for what.cd, but I am drawn to archiving, lossless files and comprehensive metadata.
I ripped my hundreds of CDs to FLAC and spent a good while organizing before Spotify came along with its temptations. Have started buying again on Bandcamp lately and been thinking about spinning up jellyfin.
Remember what they took from us

Soulseek is still alive
I know. I haven’t been able to get it working, though.

Musicbrainz Picard + Emby/Jellyfin is a great combo. Emby servers double as navidrome servers so you can use myriad apps to listen.
