Looking for a good source for very small artists (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

From time to time I stumble upon a tiny (usually Japanese) indie artist whose music I like but can't for the life of me find a place to either purchase or pirate their music.

One example is "凸凹凸凹 (ルリロリ)". I've had them wishlisted on Soulseek for the better part of a year and have scrounged different websites with no luck. Amazon Japan has their discography but only in .mp3, and finding physical media isn't really possible as I am a European resident.

Does someone know of a source they could point me to? It's driving me nuts :D

Thank you!

Any. Is that a function of soulseek? I've never heard of it

Yes, in Nicotine+ it is very easy. It is right next to the search bar on there. It is the most "modern" and easiest client.

From what I can read, it's not a function of Soulseek. That's a function of Nicotine+ and all it does is automatically query Soulseek every few minutes and maybe download automatically if it finds something.

I don't use Nicotine so I don't know. It's almost certainly not a feature of Soulseek tho

i have it on the official client.

You see the "button" after searching, above the search bar, among other buttons, towards the right (sorry, i don't have it in front of me, i'm writing from memory

Sometimes the russian "ru tracker" has had some very obscure releases that I couldn't find anywhere else. Checking that site is definitely worth a shot. I recommend translating the website since it's in russian. Btw, it's a semi-private tracker, and in my experience you can only use the advanced search functionalities once you're signed up and logged in.
