I use Radarr and Sonarr for my movies/shows, and Spotify for music, but I do know there’s another *arr app for that. The question is, is it worth setting up and how easy is it to discover new/similar music as opposed to Spotify, given that Spotify isn’t expensive at all. And how do you fellow crewmen go about it?

    Worth noting that for new releases far from everything gets released online, and overall the arr focus is on lossless which is the gap in the market. So if you’re a (digital) Audiophile with high-end DACs and Headphones then yeah sure, but if you’re not and just want to listen to music then no, it’s not worth it in my opinion. It’s harder to share a banger with a friend, you’ll be late to the party when someone new is discovered and you’ll need to curate your own playlists all the time. Not to mention filling up your drive with album tracks you’re going to listen to once at most.

      This here. I download high end versions of albums that are going to last forever, but day to day music I use Qobuz, better artist profit share and more high quality music. Better music selection too imo.
