      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.

        Soulseek is still alive

      This is interesting, thanks!

      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.

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