Title says it. Is anyone still on the newsgroups? For reasons I need to amass a large collection of music in MP3 format, preferably full albums, and I'd like to do it somewhat quickly. Is there a better place to hunt before I buy news server access? I been on land for too many years.

I don't have a single thing with a CD drive anymore and work says we can't use Bluetooth anymore so I need to load up a bunch of SD cards for my speaker. I'm gonna try this soulseek I see a lot of suggestions for.

I've been using Nicotine+ as my Soulseek client and it's been working great for me.

I had an old mp3 player so I took that music and used it as my first set of shareable files. It took some time but I have been able to build up my library.

Once you're on soulseek, look for joaquim_149. A lot of it is lossless audio but there's also some mp3 files.
