    I download it from youtube because that’s where I found it, and I’m not entirely sure what’s easier than just copying/pasting the link of the page I’m already on. I’m very confident other methods have better quality, but easier is a big statement.

      Plus, it’s more likely you’ll find music you want on YouTube than Spotify or wherever since the author just needs to upload a video

        Does it just add a download button on the YouTube video? Because copy/paste is a pretty hard process to beat for simplicity.

          Soulseek uses P2P filesharing. You open whatever software client you’re using, search for whatever you want (with any additional parameters you want) and download. If you ever used one of the various Deezer downloaders it is a very similar experience. It is certainly a lot easier than repeatedly copy/pasting YouTube URLs for every song, or needing to play every single song so you can access some little download extension button you’ve added.

            I mean, it means I have to search it elsewhere, but I can see the benefit if I already know a list of things I want. I actually do have to play each song I download because I find the music on youtube in the first place. I don’t know I want the song until I’ve heard it.
