I think a mixture of Jellyfin and Lidarr are what you're looking for, but I haven't tried out Lidarr personally. If it's as good as Sonarr then it probably works well.
Jellyfin is a media server, so can be access from any device. Most use it for TV and films but its music player and library work well also.
-Arr services are used to crawl usenet/bittorrent trackers for different kinds of media.
I'd imagine the process for this would be you add an album you want to Lidarr, which will then look around for the audio files, use a downloader you point to in order to download it, and then move it into your Jellyfin library.
Edit: I've pointed at Docker repos because I'm a container whore but I believe they all have bare-metal builds also.
I was an early adopter of Jellyfin and love it - but personally prefer Navidrome for my music server. Granted, I haven't looked at the music capabilities of Jellyfin in a long while, because I've been running Navidrome.
Symphonium android client is my recommendation for that (and I believe it also works for Jellyfin) but there are others.
My pipeline is essentially as you describe though Lidarr --> nzbget --> Navidrome
I also use Navidrome and Symphonium, along with Wireguard.
Same, Navidrome, Lidarr, Symfonium and Nginx reverse proxy. Plus last.fm scrobbling.
But getting new music takes a while, I should probably try the OPS interview.
Every app seems to offer this. Why do I want this? I feel like I've been wondering this for like 20 years, but have been too afraid to ask lol.
It's a music tracker + finder + social network. You can see how your taste changes over time. Personally my favorite feature is the weekly stats with a genre timeline.
Thanks!
For new music suggestions
Thanks!
Navidrome, symfonium, lidarr+soulseek, npm, and for scrobbling I use multi-scrobbler hooked into maloja.
Never heard of it, but it does look nice.
I'd recommend OP tries kicking up both for a bit and pointing them both at the same music collection to see which they prefer.
I just set up navidrome after reading this, and I really like it, but it's an absolute pain to install on windows
Ah sorry! I have only run it from within Docker on Linux. BUT, I'm glad you got it working!
I was about to move from Plex to Emby when the whole controversy erupted, and I waited excitedly for it to be ready.
Switched as soon as it was viable and have not regretted it one time.
This person gave up on pirating MP3s because it was too complicated and the top suggestion is to start a homeserver. LOL you guys are woefully out of touch.
Yet, that's the exact opposite of Stremio for the music world. The point of Stremio is that you do not queue stuff, download it, save it all to your hard drive and all.
Music Stremio would be cool, but I think hosting it yourself is the closest you can get with music while still retaining a decent user experience :/
I guess they could also throw a load of adblockers onto YouTube? Ublock Origin, ReVanced YT Music etc. But that isn't really 'piracy' at that point if OP is purposely wanting to avoid the actual big names.
I mean, the label doesn't matter in the end, does it? Like, it doesn't need.to be called Piracy to be worthwhile. If you use the big one's servers without any limitations but aren't paying them for it,.isn't that "avoiding the big one's" in a way?
I'm not sure if OP is privacy focused, or doesn't want their playlists tied to one service, or something like that; I'm just pulling assumptions out my arse.
I checked out Lidarr and it only supports usenet and bittorrent. Unfortunately it won’t work for “local” music I think.
Lidarr doesn't need your whole library, just what you need to download. You can add your local music to Jellyfin alongside anything you get from -Arr services.
I know when I've used Sonarr it's also managed to parse my local library when I've added a series I've already downloaded to look for future episodes.
Makes sense 🤔 I’ll check Jellyfin for music capabilities first and maybe then I can try Lidarr. Thank you 🤗
What do you mean "local"? Lidarr is not a player. It looks at your already existing music files and pulls any missing albums from the list of artist you already have.
Wrong word. I meant I’m from a 3rd world country and the music from my country can’t be found on public indexers. Not a native speaker 🤷♂️
Haha, be careful with the word 'local' when talking about IT stuff. I took it as 'local machine'.
In terms of your actual tastes, I wouldn't know where to recommend for that. I don't do much music piracy myself outside of SittingOnClouds for game soundtracks that I then put on Jellyfin and YouTube Music (Nintendo put your fucking soundtracks on music services I swear to God).
Unfortunately, I think "local" is the best word usually, just not when also talking about computers. I've tried to think of an alternative and haven't come up with one. I think you need a phrase like "music from local artists" or something.
