Nicotine+ is a graphical client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer file-sharing network, written in Python with a GTK interface. It lets users share and download files, chat with other users, and browse shared libraries while remaining compatible with other Soulseek clients.

Use cases

  • download music from the soulseek network
  • share files peer-to-peer with a gui client
  • chat with people on soulseek
  • find rare tracks and albums on soulseek
  • browse and search other users' shared files
  • replace the official soulseek windows client on linux or mac

When to choose

  • you want a maintained, open-source Soulseek client with a modern GTK interface
  • you need Soulseek on Linux, BSD, Windows, or macOS
  • you want file sharing plus chat in one user-friendly app

When to avoid

  • you need BitTorrent or another P2P protocol instead of Soulseek
  • you want a headless or command-line-only file-sharing client
  • you need a client for a network other than Soulseek
