It can look through entire BitTorrent archives in milliseconds to get individual files.” “The app itself is decentralized, nothing routes through any external servers for the primary features. Aurous will also offer music that Spotify doesn’t have, including streaming refuseniks like Taylor Swift and The Beatles.Ĭoder Andrew Sampson developed the app from his existing BitTorrent search engine, Strike Search. “What sets Aurous apart is its ability to allow users to search for music, all over the BitTorrent network, using the very same technology that powers Strike Search,” Sampson told Torrentfreak. The developers think their big selling point is the lack of annoying audio ads currently endured by Spotify’s ‘freemium’ tier users. Rather than using external servers for its main features, Aurous relies on a scan of archives on illegal P2P file-sharing sites where files are usually hosted by individual users, or ‘seeders’ – think old school applications like Soulseek and Napster. Aurous wants to step into the gap left by Grooveshark.Ī new music streaming app based on a decentralised BitTorrent search engine promises to offer all the music available on the internet – even Taylor Swift – at no cost.Īurous is built on similar technology to Popcorn Time, the not-exactly-legal movie and TV streaming service that’s become a popular free alternative to subscription service Netflix.
