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?
Soulseek
With the Nicotine+ client
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?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.
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)
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
Do you really need
-f bestaudio/best
? IIRC yt-dlp is supposed to take the best format every time.Oh, I didn’t know that and I’ve been using that command for ages.
