I’m checking out lidarr extended since a year but I couldn’t ever really figure out how it works properly. How do you automatically extend your music library?

    This is the top comment and I haven’t even heard of it before, and it’s not a new thing either. Seems like I still have much to learn.
    I looked briefly at wikipedia to see what it’s about (reminds me of DC++) but I don’t think that paints a full picture.
    Would you, or anyone with experience using Soulseek elaborate a bit on how it works and why you chose it over torrents?

      I use torrents, because I had no idea soulseek even worked anymore, I used it in like the mid/late 2000s. It’s like limewire or napster in that you search for whatever in the app. And if I recall correctly the downloads work in a similar fashion to torrents, in that it grabs packets from anyone online who has the files and is set to share.

      Well, DC++ is still alive and it’s possible to find hubs with unique niche content that is impossible to find on trackers. At least I still use it pretty often.
