    I’ve literally never been unable to find ogg, flac or mp3s for any album on Soulseek. Why is scraping Spotify even necessary?

      There is probably a lot of listening data that could be useful. Say you like a particular song, you could look at what other songs people who stream that do also streamed a lot?

        True. An “open source” music discovery algorithm would be nice. They could’ve just scraped the metadata for that though.
