This doesn't sound like what I'm asking for. I'm not interested in paying Deezer for music I already own.
Sure sure! Just a fallback to consider if you have trouble locating elsewhere, as I did. Spotify rippers were noticably bad quality, and torrents for music were very scarce compared to other media types. But maybe I missed something or there's better options now. Dropping $10 for a month to mass download everything at crisp quality isn't too bad an option, imo.
I appreciate it. I always thought Deezer was just a streaming platform like Spotify.
Also, dang, surprised so many downvotes for my original comment lol.
Not gonna lie, I'm considering paying for Deezer to move back to this.
You can automate downloads with Lidarr. I'm set up to download every song by every artist that Last.FM recommends.
Currently, I'm using Soularr, but it's really slow and not always FLAC and not always full albums and the metadata is not always perfect.
Ah, nice. I gotta do the reverse and check out Soularr a bit. I imagine my Deezer setup will eventually implode, so I'll need a fallback haha
At the very least, be sure to put your current library out on soulseek.
