Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack
dmention7@midwest.social 2 weeks agoI think the issue they are referring to is that Lidarr’s API or interface with the MusicBrainz database has been broken for a few months now, which means it’s impossible to search or add new artists/releases to your Lidarr library.
And as far as I can tell, it’s still down. I have been unable to use Lidarr for anything since about April, except for finding releases that I had already added to my local database.

Yikes that’s a major issue that I coincidentally bypassed by not using Lidarr for the past few months myself.

Yeah, Lidarr is easily the weakest of the *arrs in my experience. As a newbie to setting up that stack, it was definitely nice to have a similar interface and functionality between the apps, but the last few months have me ready to look for something different for music.

I’ve been using Soulseek but I often have issues with the metadata not loading properly into Plex.

MusicBrainz Picard is your friend.
