I'm on 3 different private trackers and they're great for shows and movies. Not so much for music.

To be clear, I'm unambiguously NOT interested in inviting anyone to the private trackers which I have invites for because that is explicitly against the rules and I always follow all rules to the letter. Feel free to private message me. Or message me on Signal

Lidarr+arr-scripts has some things that fill in missing albums from deezer and YouTube music.

I've not found a good torrent tracker for music but drunkenslug with usenet has a good amount stuff

Not a tracker, but soulseek is great

[–] paequ2@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

Yeah! I've had surprisingly good luck on soulseek! Didn't even know what I was missing!

[–] downhomechunk@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

I found soulseek after Napster went away, and I love that it's still going all these years later.

Sure is, use a vpn obs.

This doesn't look like it'd work for me. I need something that can run in Docker and is accessible through a web client.

[–] Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I run N+ in a container, gets the job done perfectly well.

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Alright! This solution has some potential.

Thanks

I tried slskd but couldn't set it up. Config file is confusing and did not know when the yml was being edited or not even though I clicked to edit it...so I kept my nicotine+ instance runming.. Its not optimal since I can't access from my phone but it works like a charm on the desktop

RIP Oink + What.cd

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 9 points 3 days ago

OPS, RED are the standards.

Libble is also decent.

You want Orpheus or Redacted. I'm not on either yet, but supposedly the interview to Orpheus isn't too bad. RED is also notoriously hard to keep your ratio on.

You could also work your way there through the invite forums on the trackers you already have, if they have them and you're in good enough standing to access them.

I'm in ops but it's... Unconventional. I'm having trouble building ratio.

Grab all the freeleech 2112's and enjoy a steady stream of upload.

There's also freeleech for the album of the month and neutral leech for all album of the month candidates in the voting phase.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

I've been on Red a while. There's a weird moment of ratio there where it's easier to increase your ratio by downloading more... Caution needed obviously but it does get much much easier.

The past 2 years or so they've also started offering freeleech tokens more often. New years they dropped 125 with a 3 month timeframe! They only work for up to 2gb each, but 90% of downloads fit in there. Patience initially is key.

I'd like to get into Orpheus also, but more out of missing What.CD than anything lacking from Red.

I suggest using I2P and going to postman. If you go to the wish list. And suggest some music someone is likely to add it.

I have pretty good luck with usenet and lidarr. That is if you have some decent indexers. I usually find flac rips fairly easily. I realize that's not torrent and it probably doesn't help you much but I thought I'd throw that out there

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I have lidarr which is how I know my trackers suck. I used to search on each directly and just figured I couldn't find what I was looking for. But now that Lidarr isn't finding a lot either, I know it's the trackers

[–] Outtatime@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

You could give Usenet a whirl. Eweka as a provider and an indexer like drunken slug. The usenet subreddit has a lot of indexers listed
