I’m want to move away from Spotify but my current Lidarr setup isn’t doing very well at finding music. Are there any torrent sites dedicated to music?

    as everyone else has said soulseek and nicotine+.

    If you want to get your spotify playlists from soulseek use this script: https://github.com/fiso64/slsk-batchdl

    basically you export your spotify playlists as a csv and slsk-batchdl will take that and try to find everything on soulseek and download it for you. anything it can’t find it’ll let you know. it might take awhile, if you have a server I’d run it on that via screen and just let it run overnight (that’s what I did)

    Keep in mind that Soulseek has A LOT of audiophiles on it so you’ll find a lot of high quality audio and FLACs. if FLAC is too big for you and you’re fine with mp3s you c an use Nicotine+ to just search for mp3s.

      I don’t want MP3s anymore, so I usually download FLAC and convert to 192 kbps OPUS. Audiophiles might get angry but my ears don’t hear any difference and my harddrive really likes it. You can get as low as 16 kbps for audiobooks, it’s insane! :)
