I mostly use(d) OiNK for stuff that was relatively easy to find, turning to SoulSeek for more obscure music (its greatest advantage being that people share all their music, all the time, rather than just the tiny portion of it that they have in their client). Then again, I guess the average music listener (or even the average OiNK user) would consider the rarest music on OiNK fairly obscure already. Or maybe I'm just spoilt, to members of smaller private music trackers, OiNK is(was) probably like heaven on earth.
