I’ve just started using Soulseek and it’s great. I want to make sure that I’m being a good neighbour on it - do I need to do anything to ensure that my files are available for others to download? And do I need to structure directories e.g Artist name > Album name or does it work off metadata?

    my folder structure is like:

    └── genres
    ├── Acapellas
    ├── Afrobeat
    ├── Ambient
    ├── BASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
    ├── Bollywood
    ├── Breakbeat
    ├── Chutney
    ├── Country
    ├── Dancehall
    ├── DUBSTEP

    and people download my files just fine, sometimes they just download entire folders since I organize by genre, not artist.

      I’m curious about your Bollywood folder. How big is it? I want to build a structured collection of old songs, and new ones too in as high quality as possible. I have nicotine+ installed but so far I couldn’t find anyone with an authoritative collection.
