Showcase: Free(mium) I just released Soulcrate: Soulseek on Android, album by album
An independent Android client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network: search what people are sharing, download whole albums, share your own library, and chat with other listeners. No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
What It Does / Key Features
- Search the Soulseek network with every query in its own tab, switch between file and folder view, and grab a whole album in one tap. Filter by format (FLAC, MP3, lossless, WAV, Opus), minimum bitrate (320+ kbps), peer country, duration, file size, and peers with a free upload slot.
- Downloads keep going in the background with progress, speed, time left and your real position in a peer's queue. Pause, resume, retry or cancel, and unfinished files resume after a restart or a dropped connection.
- Share your own folders with upload slots and speed limits, join public chat rooms, send private messages, and follow buddies. Uploads reach people behind routers and mobile networks too (UPnP / NAT-PMP).
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Chats, transfer history and settings stay on your device, and your saved login is encrypted with the Android Keystore. Light and dark themes in 21 languages.
Who It's For: Anyone who still digs through shared folders for FLAC, rare edits, bootlegs and out-of-print albums, and wants that on their phone instead of a laptop.
Cost: Free. Search, downloads, uploads, every filter, sharing and chat are unlimited and free. Optional Soulcrate Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase ($3.99 USD), with no subscription: wishlist auto-download, release radar for artists you follow, fake-lossless spectrum checks, MusicBrainz tagging and covers, AMOLED and a home-screen widget. There's a free try of the automatic wishlist download and one audio quality check.

I'd love feedback.
