I recently set up Sonarr and Radarr on my home server and I’m loving it.
However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.
To me it seems like it would be much better to have a tool like Lidarr or have support in Jellyseerr to download music from common streaming services.
What are your views on this?
YouTube and Spotify are lossy, and not everything I listen to is available for streaming anyway.
99.9% of the time I just stream, though.
My view is that there are many ways to interact with music, and you should do whatever works for you. I think for a lot of people that means not using torrents because the benefits don’t really match their use cases.
