I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let’s bring back music piracy!

    Soulseek is an old-style P2P network. It has nothing to do with my parent comment. I personally don’t use it (see my other comments in this thread).

    If you want to grab a non-reencoded file from YouTube, you can use a tool like yt-dlp

    # see what formats are available for a YT vid
    yt-dlp -F <youtube-url>
    # format 251 is usually available as the highest quality Opus format
    yt-dlp -f 251 <youtube-url>
    

    That last command should grab you an Opus stream in WEBM format.

    If you’re not a CLI guy, others should be able to give you a good GUI recommendation.
