Thanks for this. I’d not heard of soulseek. I’m an *arr person with Usenet. It’ll be nice to see if I can find some rare / missing items.
Screw limewire, soulseek is the way, an endless sea of perfectly organised music libraries, you’ll find what you want and stuff you didn’t know you needed.

I am a mildly net savvy person who only knows about torrents and file sharing. Can you point me to resources where I can learn more about Usenet? Also, what client and service do you use to access it? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, R#ddit is still a great resource for that. Check out the /r/Piracy wiki.
To summarize, Usenet is made up by servers that host all the “newsgroups”, but nowadays newsgroups are used to share files (like email attachments).
You don’t need to know anything about Usenet itself, the things you need are three:
- an indexer (they let you find nzb files, like torrent files)
- a Usenet server subscription (where files are actually stored)
- a client to download from that server (nzbget and SABnzbd are the two most used)
Good luck!

Trashguides is a good place for the arr applications.
Tldr you’ll need a hoster, newshosting is what I use And an indexer drunkenslug is one I use. I have 6. Lol
Indexer is the search that points to the files hosted on the hoster.
Good luck!

The problem is when they’re perfectly organised in a different manner from what you expect :D

Yeah I judge them by how they organise their collection.
Emerald@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I organize them into
Source (Bandcamp, Deezer, etc) --> Artist - Album --> Files
kamen@lemmy.world 5 months ago
For the files themselves lately I’ve been doing something like
Country of Origin/Artist/Original Year - Album (Catalogue Number) (Release Year)/(used to do it without the country, but at one point they became way too many, and I don’t really like organising by letter or whatever). I love foobar2000 with Facets because of the fact that you can shove any arbitrary tag into the files and then have columns show it (I’m doing that with the countries for example), but I’m now suffering a bit because of that habit - I started also self hosting my library and Navidrome that I’m using doesn’t like just any tags that you throw at it (it especially doesn’t like it if you have multiple releases of the same album that have come out in the same year).Emerald@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Having Artist as a seperate folder is wild.

Perfectly organizing in 50 different ways has a name too
kamen@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Now I’m sad that it already has a name - I don’t get to name my diagnosis.
