I’ve been using Deemix for several years, but it’s not maintained anymore and it finally stopped working :<
But the way it worked was you paid for a deezer.com subscription and gave the login arl token to the deemix app. Then the app could download the music files using your account.
Is there anything like that these days?
Soulseek is like Napster. You’re not downloading from a swarm just directly from others and once you host those files, people can download them from you.
I am well aware of what soulseek is. sockseek is not soulseek though, it’s a vibe coded app that doesn’t share back to the network and causes issues with legitimate clients.
