Comment on Music Piracy Is Back, Baby
nevetsg@aussie.zone 9 months agoSpotify was OK back when I used it after Google Music died. YouTube Music’s algorithm sucked so I used Spotify for about a year. Then I installed Plex for movies and TV but also found it was also great at streaming music. PlexAmp gives me access to a good suggestion algorithm. I made the decision to give them my $$ instead. Now with lidarr+scripts I can have any music I want with almost zero effort. Plus, as the OP said, I get the fun little side hobby of music curation.

I’m curious about where you find your music. When I looked into an indexer for music ~3 years ago, it was slim pickings. I recently found that there a method to download from Spotify, but haven’t had a chance to try it out

Not sure if you mean find recommendations of new stuff to listen to, or the download source? Recommendations from Last.fm Download source is currently Deezer. Lidarr+ scripts has a bit of a learning curve github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts

Man piracy is so complex nowadays with this script and Plex stuff, all I know is downloading .flac of albums from rutracker haha no docker container home server required

I second this. Once I see plex and lidar and self hosting . My attention wanders. Then snap back and my mind says “torrents, got it. Thanks”

Even the Spotify downloaders are meh. I get so many errors on the few I’ve tried.
If you get any good recommendations, let me know.
