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?

    This has been my only solution. I did find out if you do artist name and album name it returns all songs in album so that helped. Still really tedious compared to getting a torrent.

      The only saving grace is guaranteed source quality, a lot of the “lossless” stuff floating around torrents are converted lossy
