Above is a screenshot of the user-friendly Echoes Hub Software as you would see when logged in. On the left side it shows the main chat. On the right side it shows 174 members sharing over 374 TB of unofficial lossless audio and video recordings (which is probably more than you can listen to in your lifetime). Just below the chat, is where you type and hit [enter] to have it display in main chat. The lower window is the transfer window showing what is downloading (green) and what is uploading (red). And at the very bottom you see tabs. These tabs contain private messages, other traders' file lists, and system messages. It's very important to keep an eye on these tabs.
Listed below, there are 9 different layouts to choose from with pre-designed pallets. Feel free to create your own with custom optimization! Download Below.
