Soulseek still rules.

@TheFlamingoKing: I was thinking the exact same thing. I really miss when SoulSeek was in its prime. :)

Man, that's a flashback. People still use SoulSeek? It used to have such an awesome vibe to it, with mostly collectors of electronic and trip-hop. Then it became overrun by ordinary content, and I stopped using it.

IIRC, you pretty much had to pay for the service, otherwise you'd be #482398238 in someone's queue every time you wanted a track, and then they'd log out and you wouldn't see them again for 8 months.

Personally, I miss Audiogalaxy. It was probably the smartest idea for P2P I've ever seen.

Does sync mean auto-sync both auto and manual sync?

@Tank: Granted, but only "easier" if you're familiar with SSH. I was avoiding having to explain what SSH and BSD is and how it works.

Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see how Apple handles these applications when developers try to submit them to the App Store. I sure hope Apple keeps a neutral policing policy over what Apps are offered.

Nevertheless, when the RIAA didn't think it could get any worse - now people don't even need to be at a computer to pirate music! I could, theoretically, stand in a music store and download every CD I see in front of me - for free. Hell - I can be on some random Wifi network, downloading music. Let's see the RIAA try to use IP addresses in court now. RIAA: just keep trying to fight the power - you.will.never.win.

@kahri: It's faster and easier to SSH into the phone and copy the songs to your computer.

Tank

WinMo had something like this called PocketG2...but that seems to have bitten the dust...

Wonder how long a port or similar prog is going to take to come out.

This is very cool, iPodTouchFans posted about this same app not too long ago. I have to point out however, being a jailbreak user myself, that you actually can sync with the music you download via iSLSK. If you use winSCP you can copy the files from its download folder to your computer, and then into your itunes library. I believe that the music is stored in var/mobile/Media/islsk or in var/mobile/library/islsk. Enjoy your new music :D

Just fyi...I'm already using it. If you are like me, and have switched your iTunes settings to manually manage your music on your iPhone, then your songs are safe. It only drops them if your automatically sync. So far so good. It actually has decent speeds on the Edge network.

dallasredraider

Does the music still get deleted if your Ipod is not set to sync your comps music library? What if its set to only open Itunes upon plugin?

some12watch

yeah there's ways to get the songs out of your ipod/iphone before syncing (which you could do manually or set smart playlists to sync). You could first connect your computer's line in to the headphone jack of your ipod/iphone and record using one of many stream recording apps to your desktop and then import to itunes.

kahri

really nice thing.

Definately use it.. (rarely sync my phone.. ringtones get erased.. etc)

bahaha..

too bad i need new headphones that'll fit in the iphone's jack..

friggin apple.

Vonn64

The easy fix to the is to check the "Manually Manage Music" box. Your music won't disappear.

Use the newest Senuti Beta to get music off your iphone and onto your compy.

smackswell

Greatr start, but the music gets wiped when you sync? um, that's ghetto.

xxdesmus

Wow... buy that guy a tripod!

EDubya

They should adapt this "technology" (the adding to library part) to direct download of podcasts.

macinjosh

WOW! Getting songs anytime anywhere on your iphone. Almost makes me want to grab one before the 3g comes out.

teqsun.com

I always wondered when these two devices would get this ability. Not that I own them but still, very cool.

kylo4

This just opened up a whole world of possibilities in my mind...
I know all this legally questionable, but just let your mind wander for a few minutes:
What if there were software that enabled you to play or copy songs from any ipod/iphone within wifi range.

Or in the set of a party, your computer or iTV could play songs from any ipod/phone in the room.

For that matter, why don't AirTunes and the iPhone get along?

ahawks

I would recommend only using this over wifi. AT&T will can your ass for filesharing like this not to mention slow as hell EDGE. Then again if I'm out (and connected to wifi) I use the mobile iTunes store because stealing and piracy are one in the same.

thechansen

i don't sync with itunes anymore. I sync with media monkey. Will the songs stay then?

suburbancowboy

This holds a lot of promise. It's a mobile Limewire, without all that pesky do you plan to use this for copy-right infringement hoopla.

mykalt45

Great, now I'm really tempted to jailbreak my iPhone.. hmm..

GiantEnemyCrab

@TheFlamingoKing:

Audiogalaxy was the first P2P application I had ever used. Loved it. AG had a ridiculous amount of white-label-hard-to-purchase-let-alone-figure-out-where-to-purchase hip-hop and electronic music. I have about 600 GB of mp3's now and my most prized tracks are those that I downloaded from AG.

I moved from AG (when it shut down) to SOulseek. There wasnt much of a drop in terms of rare/hard-to-find tracks. Soulseek is a great P2P client and the browse user's files option was phenomenally innovative.

As of now, it's all about those premium Rapidshare accounts.

This is still very buggy, and refuses to work on my JB Itouch 1.1.4. The hardest part seems to be registering a username!!

Bryan

Bryan, if you download Soulseek for your computer and register a username and password from your computer, you can use it easily on your iPod Touch. I was sort of confused when I installed it on my iPhone, so I downloaded Soulseek for my PC and created a username there, and it works fine on my phone now.

ovil200

@ovil200:

Thanks man, it's not made very clear in the LH article or on the site, well not to me anyways.

Bryan

You can use anapod or any other access ipod 3rd party prog. To offload the song before sync. Then just drag it back into itunes and reload.
