Struggling to find a lot of music with Lidarr (New/Recent/Modern). Have a few general public/private trackers set up but still not getting many hits. From what I gather Usenet isn’t much better. And I’m not really confident in transcoding, bit rates, etc… to attempt an interview.
Basically what are my options? Is there something I’m missing or is music just getting harder to find?
Try SoulSeek
Any way to connect this to Lidarr? I’d prefer to avoid manually searching for everything. 😅
Based off this incomplete thread official integration is desired but not yet complete. Sorry didn’t look into that first.
Use soulseek instead. Nicotine+ is a pretty good soulseek client.
I tried getting music through usenet and ended up just caving and joining my friends Spotify family plan because it was such a pain. I still have lidarr synced with Spotify so as I find new music it tracks it and tries to pull it but most fails
Algorithm, pragmatism and easy of use. The time I would have to dedicate to it is worth more than what a family Spotify account costs me
Might be a bit old school but I just use TubeMate to download music off of YouTube for my playlist
I have Qobuz and Spotify. There are downloaders for stuff you like enough to archive. I’d probably be happy enough if I didn’t go through my old playlists and find that they just randomly delete shit ALL the time. So stuff I really like, I try to download before it’s gone. Nicotine+ like others have said is probably the most complete you can ask for, but quality can be an issue. The best is private trackers but considering that getting into one is like a full time job, at the point you can’t find something you really want, just buy it or something.
