nicotine-plus VS spek

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 N+ is updated far more regularly than the official slsk client (now 2+ years out of date), is less resource intensive and has better features.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.

You can use Spek ( http://spek.cc ) to check the audio quality, frequency, bitrate, etc :)

If you want to compare just download your two audios and load them in Spek. The higher the cutoffs, the higher quality the actual audio is. For MP3s:

Nom de l'application: spek.exe de spek.cc

It should be genuine. I've never heard of any issues. You can also use http://spek.cc/ to check the authenticity of files, and that they haven't been re-encoded. Most legit flacs will have no cutoff, and 320mp3 will cut off at 20hz.

Try converting a few wavs and see if you notice the difference. Use a quality converter like the one in iTunes (uses the Fraunhofer codec which is superior to LAME) and set to Custom MP3, 44100, Stereo, YES Smart Adjustments, and NO filter frequencies below 10Hz. You can check that the compresssion has not sacrificed much quality with something like the Spek spectrum analyzer app

use http://spek.cc/

dont belive me. try analizing your video after you post it them in this http://spek.cc/

I used spek to generate them. It’s free. http://spek.cc/

Does anyone here knows what program is used in this? I only know Spek but this has different colors. I tried searching but I can't find any. Thanks!
