SoulseekQt For Mac

SoulseekQt is a peer-to-peer application designed to offer a compromise between a chat room client and a file sharing utility, that allows you to download and upload files (mostly music), as well as chat with various people.

SoulseekQt was initially developed to enable users to exchange music that wasn’t easy to find from other sources, and has developed a reputation for promoting independent artists, underground music and being aimed at non-mainstream music fans from all over the world.

In order to login and start using the app, you must first provide your user account credentials, and, once this is done, you can immediately take advantage of its inbuilt file sharing system and start your downloads in a heartbeat.

A worth mentioning feature is the fact that SoulseekQt has the ability to share albums and entire folders, unlike other old-fashioned sharing programs (such as Napster), which can only share single files.

In order to download files you must select a certain user, by using the right-click menu, select the Browse user’s files entry, and, once you’ve found the specific file you are looking for, click Download File from within the File panel on the right part of the screen.

SoulseekQt also enables you to download entire albums and folders and for this to happen you need to select the specified folder from the Folder panel on the left part of the screen, and, after right-clicking the folder, to click the Download Folder option.

Another plus, as stated before, is the fact that SoulseekQt comes with support for users-to-user single chats and chat rooms. In these chat rooms, you can easily approach other users for conversations and find people with similar musical and non-musical interests.

Taking all said in consideration, SoulseekQt provides a classic file sharing and chat experience, and can be a good starting point for meeting new people online and further developing your musical tastes.
