I mentioned a couple of times recently that I was having some computer troubles in recent weeks. I finally got that cleared up, but at the price of having to reinstall Windows, which means I've had to reinstall all my computer programs. The reason I mention this to you is because it meant I reinstalled SoulseekQT too.
I was able to get back to my old account there: albumsthatshouldexist. But I had shared folders one by one, sharing only the albums I've shared on this blog and not everything else. (That's so I don't share the many hundreds of albums I plan on posting but aren't ready yet.) To reshare everything that way, I would have had to individually select over 3000 folders. That was a pain in the ass, and then I'd have to do it all over again the next time I had a big computer problem. So I've decided to do things a different way. Instead, I've moved copies of all the albums I've posted at this blog into one folder, and I'm just sharing that folder. It's been a few days since I did that, and some people are starting to download albums, so you may find them if you search SoulseekQT. (Although I would warn that SoulseekQT has grown so big that you don't connect with everyone else on the network all the time. It's a random luck thing, and sometimes you have to wait a few days as the program rotates you to different parts of the network.)
Anyway, I can be long-winded at times, but there's a reason I'm mentioning this. I've never seen what my SoulseekQT files look from the perspective of another person on the network, but I've had people complain that my files can be hard to understand because the names of the albums could be seen, but not the names of the musical acts. Now, for instance, all the Kinks albums will be in a folder called "Kinks" that is also shared. So hopefully that will make it easier for you if you want to download a bunch of my music via SoulseekQT.
