Hello, recently I’ve been on the hunt for a private music tracker to populate my Lidarr Instance, I’ve found REDacted and Orpheus quite appealing, but they’re “hard” to get into and are mostly for audiophiles.

I’m not an audiophile (more like a brokeyphile) and I don’t want to wait 3-5 weeks on something I’ll be just seeding instead of being active, do y’all have any recommendations? All I can offer is seeding 24/7 and a few proofs that I have good ratios

      +1 for SoulSeek and Slskd. Been using it for about a month now, and I’ve largely ditched Spotify because of it. Once I get the Arr integration working it’ll be a very nice system. Still deciding how I want to tackle music discovery, but sourcing the songs I know I want has been pretty easy.

        Music discovery is the primary reason why I’m still using Spotify even though I keep offline copies of albums I like. Spotify’s algorithm for music recommendation isn’t great but it’s not terrible either and I’ve found several albums and songs so far that I really like so I guess it’s worth it.

        I had some issues to set up slskd …the yml file is confusing…I had one search with results and right after that my connection went down…couldn’t figure what happened so I stuck with my nicotine+ container…maybe I’ll give it another shot

          I’m not able to check on my box right now, but I’ll try to take a peak at my configs when I get in front of an SSH connection.
