Assuming your filenames are unique, you can just run a recursive search for the file on your whole music library:

find /path/to/search -type f -name "filename.ext"

    You could write a bash script to move the file from the download folder to the music library too.

    Haven't done any bash scripting in a minute so sorry if this is off, but you get the gist:

    For files in /path/downloads/*; do mv "$files" /path/musiclibrary/; done

    You can also output a list of all the files in your music library with ls -alR /path/musiclibrary >> /downlaods/musiclibrary if you want a list

    Which you can grep for a file name to check if it's there

    Since OP mentoned SoulSeek, they may want to consider putting each download in a directory under the username they got it from and keeping their directory structure. Sort of like a URL.
