Has something changed regarding soulseek? I don’t seem to get any results for searching. I tried previously searched terms and even those are returning blank. If there is better place to ask question/debug help regarding soulseek, let me know.
[EDIT Solved]: as suggested in comments : some artists are unsearchable
Possibly unrelated but certain artists seem to be blacklisted on that platform for some reason
Like who?
This was a few months back but when I searched for Luke Bryan, nothing came up. I had to get creative to find the song I wanted. Think it was called country girl. I haven’t tried recently but it would be interesting to see if it’s still like that
Term “Bryan” is blocked. Search “luke *ryan” instead.
Weird! Why?
Sometimes it’s better to put something in your big book of sailor’s secrets and not ask around too much.
Mum’s the word.
😂 okay

That’s wild I had no idea actually

Oh didn’t know it’s a thing, thanks
iirc you also can’t search michael jackson lol
I’m dumb, it was absolutely this. (Actually previously searchable artist is also not searchable that’s why I got so worked up). All good now
A tip I found that works is to search for a song in the album you’re looking for. I like to use the most unique sounding title from the album. Then if you get a result, browse the user’s collection and you’ll likely find the rest of the album.
Exactly what I did, also wild card in artist name works.
