Soulseek is the current best alternative for music downloading. No viruses disguised as music, afaik

    How would that work? For games or software in general, something executable, I get it, but content beside mind blowing proof of concept, I have a hard time codecs can be hijacked so that such a payload gets to do anything via e.g. VLC or mpv.

    Back in kazaa/limewire times, search for any music would always return a bunch of .exe files, like Metallica - Fade to Black.exe. A lot of people learned the difference between file extensions the hard way
