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?

Thanks!
chrisbit ( @chrisbit@leminal.space ) English2•11 months agoIt’s a big upgrade on the antiquated official client.
highduc ( @highduc@lemmy.ml ) English2•11 months agoThis 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? SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months agoI 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.
bblfrnz ( @bblfrnz@beehaw.org ) English1•11 months agoWell, 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.

Pat ( @smyth@mastodon.social ) 2•11 months agoI 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)
Itookmyprozac ( @Itookmyprozac@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months agoBoth yt-dlp & ffmpeg installed. Then:
yt-dlp --add-metadata -x -f bestaudio/best youtube-url
glad_cat ( @glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org ) English3•11 months agoDo you really need
-f bestaudio/best
? IIRC yt-dlp is supposed to take the best format every time. Itookmyprozac ( @Itookmyprozac@lemmy.ml ) English1•10 months agoOh, I didn’t know that and I’ve been using that command for ages.
Carter ( @Carter@feddit.uk ) English1•11 months agoNot automated but I download using Qobuz-dl. If a track isn’t available then a use Deemix. Last resort is second hand CDs.
