I’m looking for a YR-DLP GUI for just music, or a good way to access music in general. I had a lidarr-on-steroids instance running but it kept disconnecting from deezer and i’d love to get that back up and running but it looks like it’s not supported any more. Yt-dlp looks like a decent enough plan B, but i’m open to other discussion

    I use Lidarr for most music grabs. spotdl when Lidarr fails to find (which is uncommon since I use usenet). Then I use beets to manage music files https://github.com/beetbox/beets .

    I have beets setup to run as a cron every 10 min, and it looks in the location that nzbget downloads to, and it automatically converts, fixes ID3s via musicbrainz db, and moves the completed files to my music section. Anything that beets doesnt see as a 95% match, I then manually run the script and choose the correct musicbrainz ID for the band/album.

        It works well, and you can trigger LMS (logitech media server) and Airsonic to update automatically. So if something goes in all automated, then your players will also ‘just’ have it available.

          That sounds like a dream. We’re there any specific tutorials you followed and could recommend or did you just try to click things into place until it all worked smoothly?

            Here you go, someones (slightly horrid) basic layout of how it can work.

            You do not have to run a local of Musicbrainz (I do - because I can, it removes API limits but its expensive in storage and data) just point to the public instance. Also you could do Headphones, but I moved away from that years ago and have had a much happier experience with Lidarr.
