I'm checking out lidarr extended since a year but I couldn't ever really figure out how it works properly. How do you automatically extend your music library?

Ooh, it's written in Python. I'm gonna have to try it, as well as nerd out on it's source.

Thanks!

It's a big upgrade on the antiquated official client.

This is the top comment and I haven't even heard of it before, and it's not a new thing either. Seems like I still have much to learn.
I looked briefly at wikipedia to see what it's about (reminds me of DC++) but I don't think that paints a full picture.
Would you, or anyone with experience using Soulseek elaborate a bit on how it works and why you chose it over torrents?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I use torrents, because I had no idea soulseek even worked anymore, I used it in like the mid/late 2000s. It's like limewire or napster in that you search for whatever in the app. And if I recall correctly the downloads work in a similar fashion to torrents, in that it grabs packets from anyone online who has the files and is set to share.

Well, DC++ is still alive and it's possible to find hubs with unique niche content that is impossible to find on trackers. At least I still use it pretty often.

@bblfrnz @highduc

What do you use DC++ for? Just curious, no need to answer.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Torrenting from RED and OPS, organizing with beet, listening with mpd locally and navidrome remotely.

Both yt-dlp & ffmpeg installed. Then:

yt-dlp --add-metadata -x -f bestaudio/best youtube-url

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Do you really need -f bestaudio/best? IIRC yt-dlp is supposed to take the best format every time.

I use Airsonic, a self-hosted alternative to Subsonic. Basically, it indexes your music library and then serves it, either through a provided web app or via apps like Play:sub on iOS (but there are a number of apps).

I get my music from o r pheus. network, great community (private tracker)

Not automated but I download using Qobuz-dl. If a track isn't available then a use Deemix. Last resort is second hand CDs.
