My favourite thing about slsk is the way you can chat with the people you're downloading from, and browse their other files as well.
If you're searching for quite specialist music (for want of a better term), that maybe only 10 or 20 users, worldwide, have got, it's a fair-to-middling bet that they may well be into the same sort of sound as you. I *always* make a point of searching through other files of users I've downloaded from and it's quite amazing - I can't measure the amount of new music I've discovered that I otherwise may never have even known about. I've also had some great conversations with people from all over the world. I don't know if the other p2p networks out there support this function and to be honest I don't care - I'm not fussed about downloading warez or movies or top 40 CDs. slsk is my best friend. My only friend. >>> David Gillies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 14/01/2005 10:22:04 am >>> The best thing about soulseek for me is not in finding lots of well known stuff (like nirvana) but being able to find lesser known stuff that I can't find on any other p2p network. Try typing something 313 related in soulseek and then try it on another more well known network (perhaps like Limewire or something) and compare the differences. Then you'll see when everyone here talks it up.
