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.
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.
Remember what they took from us

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

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