Tidal-Media-Downloader-PRO VS nicotine-plus

It's Tiesto's "BOOM" that I ripped from TIDAL using TIDAL Media Downloader. I included the MediaInfo, so you can check if it's real.

For TIDAL content, I use TIDAL Media Downloader to 🏴‍☠️ content that I want such as Dolby Atmos tracks. It can also tell you what quality an album, playlist or track is e.g. FLAC, E-AC3-JOC, or MPEG-H 3D.

Tidal is excellent, but they tend not to have obscure artists. It also doesn't help in my case that some of the music I occasionally listen to is not streamable. Anyways, if you want to share the love with your users, Tidal-Downloader works pretty well for .flac acquisition. Now if only I could automate it and fix Tidal's metadata (it's also broken in their apps).

You better download and use Nicotine+, it's a frequently updated client for the soulseek platform.

The next version of Nicotine+ will turn the bitrate column into a quality column that shows the actual audio attributes provided. https://github.com/nicotine-plus/nicotine-plus/pull/2564

Completely agree. try this https://nicotine-plus.org

As has been said, K/s is an indication of transfer speed, and the default SLSK client does not keep track of transferred data for you. However, as there's never a bad time for a Nicotine+ plug, that does keep such stats, both for session and total transfer.

I don't know about Ventura, but why not give Nicotine+ a go. :)

Try out Nicotine+

Please be careful, there are some fake versions of the slsk client out there and they are confirmed malware. The official Soulseek website is http://www.slsknet.org/. There was a previous domain, but Nir (slsk's founder) lost control of it many years ago. I suggest you download a version of the client from this page or better yet download a copy of the third party client Nicotine+. N+ is updated far more regularly than the official slsk client (now 2+ years out of date), is less resource intensive and has better features.

The Nicotine+ repository has the most up to date protocol documentation here. This was originally documented in a couple of places but hadn't been updated in a long time.
