I know this is kind of baby pirate knowledge but ive always just used a downloader for my streaming service. I have since moved to Linux entirely (massive win BTW, patting myself on the back for that) but there is no Linux-compatible downloader for my specific service. At least not one with the bulk functionality I would like. Any downloaders for Tidal or other sources of high-quality audio, likely to have some relatively niche old death metal? I'm a nerd about the quality.

edit: Just looked at the megathread and there seems to be some tools compatible with Tidal. Regardless, are there any applications that are alternatives? I'd like to see ALL of my options <3

If you have a home server, slskd is very good. Modern web UI and there's plugins to integrate it into Lidarr (Tubifarry)

X2. It can be a little janky because other people's naming conventions are terrible but it's a pretty great setup.

I have slskd running as a server but hate it's search function. I will have to investigate this Lidarr plugin.

As soon as you said "Lidarr," you had my undivided attention. I'm definitely giving this a try

[–] dan@upvote.au 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Make sure you're on the "develop" branch of Lidarr, as the stable one doesn't have the plugins feature. If you're using Docker, use the "develop" tag instead of "latest" (lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:develop).

I got mine through the TrueNAS app "store," which had plugins enabled. That made things easy.

lidarr is still not working anywhere near as good. musicbrainz is a trash metadata provider.

[–] dan@upvote.au 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Musicbrainz is fine; it's just Lidarr's usage of it that's a problem. Lidarr uses its own mirror of Musicbrainz, plus its own custom search code, and it's not as reliable.

Other apps that use Musicbrainz data, like Beets and Picard, don't have the same issues that Lidarr has.

I just stick with https://github.com/V1ck3s/octo-fiesta and grab everything directly from qobuz

wowwwwww!! fucking amazing

If you're fine pulling with legit services then https://monochrome.tf/ is probably the easiest to use (or their backend service if you want to automate it).
