Hello, recently I've been on the hunt for a private music tracker to populate my Lidarr Instance, I've found REDacted and Orpheus quite appealing, but they're "hard" to get into and are mostly for audiophiles.

I'm not an audiophile (more like a brokeyphile) and I don't want to wait 3-5 weeks on something I'll be just seeding instead of being active, do y'all have any recommendations? All I can offer is seeding 24/7 and a few proofs that I have good ratios

I gave up on private trackers for music tbh I can't be asked to go through an interview for a tracker to be honest. I also don't use lidarr I set it up once but gave up because it just does not work well for me I instead find my music (98% of the time) from a different site (not a torrent site it's a direct download and has early releases updated all the time this is how I find new music aswell + last FM) and the rest I search for and find using slskd (old release s). If you want to use lidarr I would recommend setting up soularr (this needs slskd) or I believe there are lidarr integrations with deemix or others to rip the audio that way. But as said above I don't use any of that anymore. I'm a huge fan of slsk though

Wait, you can connect Lidarr to Soulseek??? Does it work well? It would be a dream come true!

Yea it worked well enough from what I remember. I used it for awhile but ultimately only stoped because it (lidarr) still needs metadata from music brainz and if it's not there lidarr does not have it. So ultimately for me lidarr is the problem/metadata for artists.
