Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.
Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you'd need to check the individual projects to be sure.
fucking lemmy man, wrote out awhole ass answer to this and got deleted. god fucking dammit.
welp. here goes again.
headphones is a monthly subscription and not that great, not worth it at all.
lidarr is garbage and the folks around it are assholes. you iether love it and froth at the mouth when someone says they're having trouble with it, or you hate it. It also is a fucking resource hog like I've never seen. MAJOR memory leaks
I use Roon and Qobuz, and Nicotine+ for stuff that isn't on Qobuz. qobuz-dl is really robust and awesome and can do anything you want lidarr to do: just maintain a list of artists in a document, and qobuz-dl will automatically download anything new as it keeps track of what's already been downloaded before.
The Roon folks are just as bad as the Lidarr folks. This shit costs $7-800 for a lifetime license and it does't even include ANY music streaming. It's just a music server and manager. And they don't actually have tech support. Literally if you go to their support page, they direct you to a fucking forum full of morons high on the koolaid (bc honestly you have to be if you invested $700 on a shitty music player), tell you to get lost if you don't like a program with bugs up the ass.
I would love to make an open source offering that does what roon does but also allows you to automatically download stuff using qobuz-dl, tidal-dl, bandcamp-dl, etc.
Headphones only costs money if you want to use their indexer. Ive never paid but does seem like a reasonable way to fund your project.
Why are the lidarr devs assholes? Also I have never experienced any memory leaks to my knowledge and the only time it slows down is if I'm trying to match my entire library
https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-lidarr-extended comes with a bunch ofadditionaldownload scripts like tidall-dl
Have you seen how they interact with people? It's embarrassing. Very pretentious, and they get pissy if your don't understand every facet of their poorly documented, poorly designed app. Yes it's free and open source. There's lots of FOSS stuff that isn't run by opinionated gatekeepers.
If you experience a bug, they bend over backwards to make it seem like it's your fault. "No dude, it's supposed to delete your entire library if you accidentally click that one button. You should have read the documentation that we're going to release sometime in the future"
Have you considered using Plex as your music server? I’ve had a great experience with it.
Jellyfin for me!
I maintain my library with Lidarr in a manual manner for downloads and imports. I didn't experience memory leaks.
That's good for you, thanks for chiming in
Logitech Media Server (LMS)/slimserver may tick a lot of your Roon requirements.
Wow, that's a name I haven't heard for a long time!
I previously ran that with some Squeezeboxes if anyone remembers those.
Yeah! The squeezebox software is still out there too, it's a sudo apt-get get away in something like it Ubuntu and just works (though does commandeer the audio on any pc you do that on by default)
I did some light research and boy was it difficult to find anything out. Can you point me in the direction of a guide? I've heard that was the closest you can get so I may as well try it out. But yeah I spent way too much time trying to even find an installer or docker container for my nas and came up with nothing
I personally use piCorePlayer on a raspberry pi which is basically burn an SD card which gives you a squeezebox (basically a client) there's a couple more steps to get lms running on top of that but the instructions are pretty good: https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/install_lms/
Official docker image seems to be here https://hub.docker.com/r/lmscommunity/logitechmediaserver
You'll want to install the "material skin" too if you do get it running, it's a pretty modern front end:
https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material
Official forum is packed with info too:

Thank you for your extensive post 👍🏼
Nice list, appreciated
