It’s trivial to reorganize your collection (see Strawberry Music Player if you think it’s not) but when it comes to slsk you see the files, filenames, directory structure, bitrate, and bit depth without downloading. I check all the FLAC albums I download and I haven’t seen a fake one yet. I never download lossy files because I can create a perfect transcode from lossless anyways, and I’m probably transcoding to opus which seemingly nobody else does.

You have to realize that in 2025 we’re all ripping them from Deezer or something where you always get basic tags and proper lossless. I’ve never used a private tracker and never will because slsk gives just as high quality and has less condescending pricks.

Seriously, don’t bother with torrents for music. Soulseek is way more reliable and at least someone has had any thing I’ve ever looked for in FLAC.

It’s stupid to participate on either side of this discussion. If you think it’s not a “real” language you are applying a 100% arbitrary definition to it, and if you say it is a “real language” you are conceding that calling it “not real” even makes sense in some way (which it doesn’t).

Personally I like languages with real and strong data types but people are free to use whatever language they like most.
