Hey everyone,
I'm new here! I wanted to share a music search and discovery tool for Lidarr. It plugs into Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Plex/Tautulli, Jellyfin, and even some AI recommendations.
GitHub: https://github.com/aquantumofdonuts/mixarr/releases/tag/latest
Website: https://aquantumofdonuts.github.io/mixarr/
What it does:
- Connects to Lidarr and analyzes your existing artists
- Hooks into Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Plex/Tautulli, and AI services
- Finds related/similar artists, new releases, charts, labels, playlists, etc.
- Gives you a review queue to approve or dismiss discovered artists
- Automatically adds approved artists to Lidarr with the profile you choose
- Has a universal search and discovery interface across all services
- Runs as a web app (Next.js frontend + Express backend) and plays nice with Docker
Why I built it:
I wanted one tool that I could point at my Lidarr library and get a steady stream of relevant artist recommendations.
Basically, make music discovery feel as automated and “infrastructure-y” as the rest of the *arr ecosystem.
Current status:
- Working with Lidarr + Spotify/TIDAL/Deezer/Last.fm/MusicBrainz + Plex/Tautulli
- Has subscriptions for different discovery sources (charts, playlists, related & followed artists, etc.)
- Docker-compose setup available, plus local dev if you prefer
- Early but usable; I’m actively using it myself and iterating
Just spun it a up earlier today, looks great! I'm wondering if maybe I'm misunderstanding how listenbrainz subs work. The explore subscription doesn't pull in my users "weekly exploration" playlist, it's totally unrelated songs it's pulling. Although it does appear to pull in accurate listenbrainz artist recommendations
Sorry, which subscription specifically were you using? I'll try to reproduce the behavior you're seeing. Might be an easy fix.
Listenbrainz Explore
I just noticed there is an explore tab on listenbrainz, is that what this is supposed to pull from? I was thinking it was supposed to pull from the weekly exploration playlist listenbrainz creates.
Ok, got it. Yes, this was a funky UI bug. There is now a ListenBrainz preset for Weekly Exploration, which pulls from the user's playlist, and the "type" dropdown is disabled once you select a preset.
Please give it a try, let me know if that fixes the issue you were having. I updated the repo, you can pull and rebuild containers to get the changes.
Thanks!
working as expected now. Thanks! would you prefer feature requests on the github repo or here?
Great to hear! Feel free to post feature requests in either location, but github will tend to be preferred. Thank you!
Interesting, that could be a bug. I'll check it out. Thanks!
