      How does SoulSeek compare to torrents? From my quick search, it seems that SoulSeek is proprietary software, correct?

        Better, in my opinion. Torrenting is annoying when it comes to music, I find. Soulseek is so easy in terms of searching for individual songs, albums, etc. and specifying things like bitrate and so on. It’s proprietary but I’ve yet to see an open-source equivalent that comes even remotely close to it.

        Lol this is going to sound ridiculous but as someone who is trying to quit smoking and constantly failing, I know for a fact that using a program called Nicotine would 100% water the seeds of addiction in my brain.

              <etc> so tempting to release a product called ‘nicotine’ and wait for the patches. <etc> then i would have a reason to only apply one patch a day. otherwise, i’m going against medical advise.
