DAngerer09 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Oh wait... guess that doesn't work for Mac-users If you google "Soulseek OSX" or something along those lines, you wil find that there are some downloads for macs that you can use soulseek with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Boink The Oink system wont work if its public. Oink founder: We're just like Google By Paul StokesLast Updated: 8:20am BST 25/10/2007 An IT consultant suspected of operating one of the world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I honestly can't see why BOiNK in theory won't work. Who knows if people will put all those albums up again though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street spirit Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 if it's public wouldn't it essentially be what the Pirate Bay is now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The strict rules that Oink had can not be enforced in a public place - as I see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

street spirit Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 precisely what i was thinking. i keep reading rumblings about new, private trackers that are based on the oink code going live sometime next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Trent Reznor on OiNk: What do you think about OiNK being shut down?Trent: I'll admit I had an account there and frequented it quite often. At the end of the day, what made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store. Pretty much anything you could ever imagine, it was there, and it was there in the format you wanted. If OiNK cost anything, I would certainly have paid, but there isn't the equivalent of that in the retail space right now. iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc. Amazon has potential, but none of them get around the issue of pre-release leaks. And that's what's such a difficult puzzle at the moment. If your favorite band in the world has a leaked record out, do you listen to it or do you not listen to it?

bobfrombob Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I'm looking at the "best of 07" thread and realize I haven't heard tons of that stuff including Spoon, Radiohead, Georgie James, New Pornographers, Okkervil River, Ricki Lee or Lucinda. There are tons more I haven't heard either but I'm pretty interested in these ones...... (I guess I could go to their site to get the Radiohead but you get the idea). Oink is gone. Demonoid is blocking Canadians (inset anti-canuck sentiment here). What do I do? Does it require an invite? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I think this is becoming the new place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
