Why Do You Pirate Music? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

IIRC, Spotify added FLAC recently

I see a lot of news of it "coming soon" and leaks, but not an official release. Do you have more info?

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 6 points 6 months ago

Just looked it up, it doesn't seem to be available yet

This is the only thing I could find on it. Seems it’s still in testing.

Hopefully soon though!

I will be surprised if Spotify won't announce a new more expensive HIFI subscription with their support for lossless audio. Imo this still makes it less interesting than Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz since it'll still be impossible to permanently download music from Spotify.

Nonetheless it's great that Spotify will provide lossless audio for those who want it.
