Struggling to find a lot of music with Lidarr (New/Recent/Modern). Have a few general public/private trackers set up but still not getting many hits. From what I gather Usenet isn't much better. And I'm not really confident in transcoding, bit rates, etc... to attempt an interview.

Basically what are my options? Is there something I'm missing or is music just getting harder to find?

I second this but I use Lidarr on Steroids, as that's the one I could get working. I also chose to subscribe to Deezer for a month or two so I can download everything in lossless/FLAC using my own arl. Then I'll cancel it. After that I'll probably go to soulseek and manually download.

This was the link I used. I ended up scrapping it and just using deezer but this worked perfectly for me.
