I’m looking for a YR-DLP GUI for just music, or a good way to access music in general. I had a lidarr-on-steroids instance running but it kept disconnecting from deezer and i’d love to get that back up and running but it looks like it’s not supported any more. Yt-dlp looks like a decent enough plan B, but i’m open to other discussion
Soulseek is all I ever user
Soulseek (nicotine) gang unite!

I like this approach

That sounds like a dream. We’re there any specific tutorials you followed and could recommend or did you just try to click things into place until it all worked smoothly?

Lidarr for most, soulseek (slskd) for anything Lidarr can’t get in FLAC
I literally make a Spotify playlist then run it through a website that lets me download metadata and a MP3 of the song (usually it’s from YouTube). I usually look on Bandcamp for albums I like tho because .flac sounds slightly better.
I like SoulSeek, not sure if they have a grabber?
free-mp3-download.net is the best. It rips FLACs directly from Deezer.
Nicotine+ to grab what I want, EasyTAG to edit metadata, move the files to my self hosted instance of Ampache which I can then access either with SublimeMusic on desktop or SubStreamer on my phone if I’m traveling.
Onthespot is awesome
Soulseek (nicotine+) and Slavart on divolt (FLAC files from Deezer and Qobuz).
Spot-dl
Install with pipx
If you just want to download music, nothing can beat Soulseek.
Seal to download from YouTube on Android and then I just use vlc to listen to them
I’m not a big fan of the -arr suite so I use Headphones.
Any reason why?
I don’t support the
.NET Framework
which is a dependency of most (all?) of the -arr suite. It’s a fairly divisive and niche argument so I didn’t bring it up initially, but I try to reduce my reliance on proprietary software and hardware as much as possible.Understandable. Have a good day.

flac format from YouTube
WHY? YouTube doesn’t have lossless audio. Best you can do is get the 160k Opus without re-encoding.

If you don’t care about quality you can use YouTube but you’re just wasting space using them in flac unless you intend to modify them.
