I recently set up Sonarr and Radarr on my home server and I’m loving it.

However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

To me it seems like it would be much better to have a tool like Lidarr or have support in Jellyseerr to download music from common streaming services.

What are your views on this?

    As I kid I would record songs off the radio, and I would copy songs off other cassettes I liked. I did the same when cd’s became a thing and then when internet went to cable/dsl from dial up, that’s when I started downloading shit like it was my job.
