Soulseek Client for Android?

Has anyone heard of such a thing or thought about developing one for it? I know the iPhone has one, which makes me sad if they do and we don't.

I was searching for the exact same thing. Sadly, there is no iSlsk for Android, but there are some awesome alternatives.
TubeDroid - It downloads audio/video from a YouTube video. It works flawlessly. Just search for the video, then choose "Download Audio", and after downloading, the .mp3 file will be active in the music library. One thing, the app is commercial, but that shouldn't be a problem. PM me.
iMusic - It's a free [sort of] app. Works just as Slsk does. Trying it out, but it works. It's off the market, but you can go to the developers site [greencode.me] and scan the QR code.
It's free to download, but the free version of the app only gives you a limited amount of search results. Just so you know.
Music Junk - Some people recommended it. I'm not sure how it works, but theres only one way to find out.
That's it. I mostly use TubeDroid for everything, but having an alternative is always good. Take care.

tubemate is on the market, and its free, and constantly being developed and improved.

None of the options above mentioned are soulseek native client with all its inmense data base of songs....
+ 10000! Please, anyone can develope an apk that connects us p2p with soulseek, the hugest music data base of the planet?
Help to make android the best OS! It's true that ios had a soulseek client via Cydia, it was developed by an Argentinian geek when the ios was in its 3.0's. But he stopped to do it unfortunately, this is the only implement I've seen that has ever had an iPhone but never has had the Android in its glorious short history ...

nothing exists and probably won't. best alternative is tunee,literally finds anything I want

You can always install ubuntu on your Android device and inside of it, nicotine plus which is a good slsk client.

There seems to be a solution here http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/02/28/necessitas/ but it is beyond my level. Maybe someone here that understands all of this can help port SoulSeek over to Android or something. :fingers-crossed:

Try GoSeek.

okay, so I have been a fulltime Soulseek user since it's inception.. what 11 or 12 years ago now. I even still use the original client. I have been searching for a proper client since my first Android hack on my Sony Xperia x10a. That's when I first came across Goseek. It cost $2.00, and it seemed so experimental by the actual description that I just never bothered.
For me SLSK isn't just about the music database. Of course it's immense, yes but its the users , and the rooms that make slsk what it is. So I am looking for that in my client, not just a music downloader. its the community. the friendships, the rooms are the soul of the little bluebird. I am going to check out this Goseek now, as it is free now. I will let you know my opinion soon ok. cheers

There are now soulseek clients, both official and unofficial.
The official one is basically slsk qt, and the unofficial one is goseek.
However, although both installed apparently correctly, and all the onboard functions and features appear to work, when it comes to finger tapping on the desired search result/s to begin the download of music file, however much u tap that finger on your screen, nothing happens.
Not even a notice to tell you there is a "fail" somewhere or anywhere in the process.
I am only guessing when I say that unlike my favourite soulseek client, soulseek nt, which only need be installed on a pc or laptop, username and password entered, and voila (firewall may need opening), and it just fully works. No (for non-experts) time consuming port forwarding needed.
So yes, apps exist, but for myself, but NO, THEY DONT work for the average. User, and perhaps don't work for anyone.
If anyone has advice for a "non-geek", will u please let me know know?
Thank you.

For me Goseek works perfectly. Maybe not a very comfortable interface but I browse in the user's folders and download them like in the laptop.

Anyone have any new Soulseek for Android options? Looks like the Goseek app has been abandoned for quite some time now.

Yes, I also need a soulseek for Android. This worked great, but it's not working anymore for Android Nougat...
Enviado desde mi SM-G935F mediante Tapatalk

I know it's been over a month now since your post. Did you find a fix for GoSeek via Nougat?

Of course Iphone has one, they always get everything and android gets left in the dark, fast forward 7 years later and literally, nothing has changed.
Whoever said goseek works perfectly, clearly has an eye for unfinished garbage thus the android world we live in. Sad when you cannot do something as simple as set a custom path to your music sharing folder which for me is /storage/emulated/0/music but goseek insists I use /storage/emulated/0/goseek even though it is empty, and scanning for media is absolutely useless.
There is no official slsk qt for android, don't know where anyone is getting that from. As for the unofficial goseek it is quite non-functional at best and as mentioned above has been abandoned for some time now.

I don't agree at all. Goseek was messy and poorly designed, a lot of work to do it had. And the worst is that it crashes from Nougat onwards.
But before it served me to download countless of music on my mobile when I was away from my pc.
Pleased dev, fix it!!

Mobile security all I want

Ok here's what I want lol my normal anti spy virus extra WITH USB lock so my phone can't be flashed and a cwm password is that so hard...... Core blimey

I dont think that a mobile needs Antivirus...
but if u want one.. market has alot..

I'm currently using Lookout on my Galaxy S2, I dont think there is any with a usb lock function, Although lookout has some really good features if you want to pay for them.

not necessary to install anti-virus software on cellphone

Famous last words.

I have Lookout free version. Pretty decent but I have yet to come across a virus.

You can't get a virus on Android, windows or apple platforms
Ask us any Android Related Questions @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter (Even If You've Bricked)

Unnecessary because the market remove any suspicious apps.
Maybe good for lost or stolen phone which they provide a good protection against that.

U don't need one

I agree its pretty secure but i do have one still

If you want to be secure enough, I would recommend rooting your phone, then install something like Droidwall, LBE, and some other app like that.
That should really set you up just fine!

If mobile security is all you want, then keep your bootloader locked.

as for this , you don;t worry about that ,there is little virus can cause your phone in troule

Mobile security isn't to much to worry about. but if you are still worried i suggest bitdefender.

I am using lookout on my sensation 4g and it has nice features like others have said just no USB lock

Antivirus software
While I tend to agree that antivirus software for your phone probably isn't needed for software found in the markeplace, is there still a risk for those programs side-loaded from other sources? Maybe not. I personally don't see the potential threat as being big enough for me to use it on my phone. But, as already mentioned some security programs also offer additional features that are nice - ie finding your phone if it's lost.

Damn I see a lot of stupid/dangerous replies to this thread. Going to be really funny when these people download a malicious app from the marketplace/Play.
Just to clarify there are no viruses for mobile platforms but that's because a virus is defined as malicious code that can pass it's self on. What we do find is malicious code in apps which is classed as malware rather than a virus. And yes these do exist on the market despite what some of the people on here have said and yes they exist on both Andoird and iOS, not heard of any on Windows yet.

You are the best antivirus. Just don't install suspicious apps from Google Play.

I feel like this is another version of Carrier IQ... :/

ya thats pretty bad

Now, maybe it's just me, but do those look more like "definitions" rather than what the application is actually doing?

See what you mean. I suppose those are possibilities of what the app could do based on it's permissions. Still, I would not be surprised at another Carrier IQ type of app. I dodged the bullet since my Captivate didn't have Carrier IQ as far as I know.

It looks like Ready2Go is for setting up your phone from the computer. Probably why it needs all those permissions.
I guess they don't want you to disable it in case someone accidentally does and is no longer able to customize their phone from their computer.
edit:
It's just an app that lets you set up your phone on your computer. Learn to Google.

I was wondering about whether those are definitions, or based on the (very poorly written- definitely translated) little blurb about security following each one, maybe this is some sort of security/verification app that checks the activity of processes on the phone.
Still it is pretty encroaching...
I've gotten responses before from their Google+ page (unlike Facebook and Twitter accounts), here's to hoping... Maybe we can spam their main page/posts as well until they at least address it...

Are you sure? In about 20 years I never saw malwares on Linux, Android and OSX. Windows only!

Yes but unless you're an idiot you won't get them

You need it though because antivirus app have safe browsing option and can help find your device if lost. Less malware though but it can detect the risk of having a kind of app. Im using lookout.

im just trying to help so I hope it works

To my experience, I've never gotten a virus. None of my phones have issues. Nor have I ever heard of it. Linux is complex system, though viruses exist everywhere. And in many forms you have a slight chance of getting a virus.
Using anti-virus apps are worthless and don't really work. They slow your device down allot, and usually ruin your experience.
Its hard to get viruses on android devices. So you shouldn't be worried.

Have fun
don't u worry child these malwares are not that harmful.
if u get any problem just reset ur device and have fun

Don't worry about them the latest Google Play Services has a lot of virus security patches

i have heard of virus on android but still have yet to get one, if you do get one, i fixed my friends chinese tablet by just factory resetting it, the only harm it does is spam adds and gets apps on your device and slows down.

Truth Snooper.

Hi. Someone installed a spying app called Truth Snooper on my friend's unrooted Note 3. How can we remove or access it without login/account information?
I can't tell you how creepy this feels.

I can imagine this is quite annoying. I'd say factor reset... But that would undo everything mind you what's worse lol:/. And not being rooted might be annoying lol. Tbh I can't find any information out about this app. It's called Truth Snooper?
I shall do some searching and thinking.

What ever you do! Don't login to anything on it. Most spying apps have keyloggers!
---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------
Hello . So I've done some. Digging and honestly can't find anything about this. Assuming this app doesn't have a hook. As it's not a rooted phone I don't imagine it's possible it will have hooked itself into system files. Unless the guy managed to root, install then. Hide everything? Lol. I'm just guessing.
Give root checker a whirl? Worth a try.
Apparently this app works: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.free&hl=en
But in all honesty if that doesn't work factory reset and full wipe of internal storage is your only choice :/ as your not rooted you can't go into folders and start removing stuff. I'm really sorry this has happened and it is horrible. But in future I'd suggest your friend doesn't leave his/her phone lying around.
I'm sorry . For every good intentioned app (assuming you think spying on your kisds doesn't sound like a gross invasion of their privacy) there is 4 bad intentions it can be used for :/.

Also my suggestion is reset all your passwords. Make sure nothing can be taken.

Thank you for your advice.
Factory reset it is.

That should probably do the job but be aware that it may not if the malware has rooted the phone or compromised it via some other exploit. So you should check with several root checking apps. If rooted then you need to reflash ROM as factory reset does not touch many of the partitions. Also the external SD card is not touched (normally) by either method so that may be a potential route to be reinfected, so too open ports on your wifi. The phone may not even have to be "fully rooted" to be infected if some security vulnerability has been exploited to escalate privileges.
Also you should submit the suspect file to virustotal and scan phone with some decent anti malware app before and after cleaning. If it was me I'd also install an app like AFwall to check and see if there were any attempts being made to connect to suspect servers.

Factory resetting may remove the app.
