Soulseek General Discussion

Hello
Can I send search commands programmatically to soulseek and then download files programmatically? For example If I had an mp3 at 96kps then can I search for it on soulseek using tag information in the file, scan the file list and then download the one that has a higher bit rate. In my example one that is 128kbps?
It becomes useful if one has many hundred or even thousand files.
Regards
Ishan

Use a filter. Perform a regular search. Then at the bottom of the search tab (right to 'Saved filters') fill in mbr:128 and research. Only files with a bitrate of 128 or higher will show now. See the Filter help.
This doesn't automatically download the file, but it's a great help.
