    Don’t be too excited, guys:

    Relatively popular songs are stored in their original 160kbit/s OGG Vorbis quality, while the rest use 75kbit/s to save hundreds of terabytes of storage.

    75 kbit/s can sound pretty bad depending on the songs. If you listen to it on your phone speaker you probably won’t notice, but this isn’t for quality listening experience. Depends what they mean with popular though, maybe all “good” songs are stored in the higher bitrate.

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