Soulseek is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing network and application. It is known mostly for the exchange of music.
The current Soulseek network, hosted on the client SoulseekQt, is the second to have been in operation; the older network, used up to version 156 of the client, was shut down after significant user inactivity. Version 157 of the client was the last for Microsoft Windows only, and work on it ceased in 2008. SoulseekQt is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with it having different functionality compared to the 157 client interface.
