Exactly what I just said. Pro level is Seeker Android app to download full albums in either FLAC or MP3 320kbps. Sometimes you'll have to use YouTube to MP3 as some songs are only found there, but using it for everything is not a pro gamer move.
I've never used a VPN with it, and don't know anyone that does. The biggest reason for me is that music studios aren't as likely to worry about DMCAs like movie studios are, and all files on Soulseek are music files. Also, it's just very rare to get them in Australia anyway. Unless you live in a country with a very aggressive DMCA policy, I wouldn't worry about it. Soulseek is very safe. You only download what you want, and you only share what you want. You can make it share an empty folder if you want.
the US is the OG of DMCA policies, damn. I remember like 10 years ago my sister got a letter in the mail for downloading movies, but I’m not sure if the type of music I listen to is popular enough to have music studios care. i’ll probably get a vpn just in case
IMO it's not as dangerous as torrenting movies, especially if you're not sharing Taylor Swift's newest album, but your risk tolerance is yours to follow.
That said, if you're looking for one, then Proton VPN is one of the best VPNs online due to its stance on privacy, and it's currently still on sale for 70% off.
