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

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.

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.

Yeah, I can’t go into too much detail, but we have to filter certain things.

Sometimes it’s better to put something in your big book of sailor’s secrets and not ask around too much.
