Concept is simple. It’s searchable p2p file sharing. You have the client, open/filter two ports on your firewall (soulseek qt has a button to check the ports are open), share a folder with media you want to share with others, then start searching for things you’d like. You can filter searches too. I keep my searches filtered to flac files for example.
As a note, some people are weird about you downloading too much in one go, so good rule of thumb is to DL no more than 1 album at a time from someone. Some people are stupid weird about it though and will block access if you queue more than a single file. Just put them on your block list too and unshare from them and move on. It’s not worth it to message people like that.
This is the main site, https://www.slsknet.org/news/faq-page I’m linking you to the FAQ. You can get the client there too.
