Soulseek is still going?
I discovered so many artists, international variations of albums, live sessions and bootlegs from that app, it changed my relationship with music.
I have to go back and check it out.
Soulseek is definitely still going, and absolutely still captures that feeling GP is talking about :)
Beyond that, and practically speaking, I find it the easiest way to find large, nicely organized discographies. And some not so nicely organized.
There's even a FOSS client now https://github.com/nicotine-plus/nicotine-plus
