I recently set up Sonarr and Radarr on my home server and I’m loving it.

However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

To me it seems like it would be much better to have a tool like Lidarr or have support in Jellyseerr to download music from common streaming services.

What are your views on this?

Basically boils down to quality. The default options for pirated music are FLAC 44.1-96 kHz 16-24 bit, or MP3 320kbps.

Both are better than YouTube quality.

Yep, don’t need to get a headache from crappy 128bps mp3s.

Also because fuck this rent-music mentality.
