Rivulet - an audio player for torrents

What is rivulet.audio?

rivulet.audio is a new way to download and listen to music. You create playlists, and the program automatically finds music files in torrents. These playlists can be shared with others and published anywhere, because they do not contain illegal content on their own, and they do not contain information on where to download songs illegally. When someone imports your playlist, his client automatically starts searching for torrents and plays songs. The source code of the project is open.
