My experience with Lidarr (lemmy.world)

As much as I like radarr, lidarr has some problems radarr doesn't. Some bands nowadays do not release albums and directly release singles on YouTube or Spotify, so the albums organization doesn't work that well anymore.

On top of that, the content you find in the trackers is very heterogeneous, entire albums as a single track, discographies as zip files, different file formats, single albums... and it seems to confuse lidarr all the time so it cannot figure out what is what.

What do you use for your music collections? How do you organize them?

Just MusicBrainz and a general music folder. I either use a SMB share or Navidrome to listen to my library, depending what's most convenient. I've noticed that Lidarr generates huge traffic spikes when it fetches album info, rate limiting it on my Pi Hole, so I've stopped using it. I don't like the idea of automating downloading music anyway, I prefer to listen to it first then download if I like it.
