I use it. It’s just as easy to set up and run as the other two, whether you use the tarball install, repo packages, or docker. While you’re at it, look into Prowlarr also to manage your indexers and download clients so you don’t have to make changes on all 3 manually. Then maybe look into Ombi to manage download requests. I like Overseer better, but it doesn’t support music yet, unless something changed recently. The biggest hurdle is that in contrast to the TV and Movie categories, the file naming conventions for music downloads are not nearly as well standardized and enforced. Lidarr does a great job of shifting through and finding what it can, but I still get a lot more releases that require manual importing than with Sonarr or Radarr. Maybe I just need to tune the filters better. Discovery isn’t really something Lidarr does yet, although there may be some forks working on adding it. Last.fm or listbtainz can help with that, or there are a bunch of self hosted media trackers that have recommendations built in.

Lidarr is not a Spotify replacement. There is no way to play music, just like you can’t play movies in Radarr.

There is no way to discover new artists, it only knows the artists you tell it about.

I use lidarr along with last.fm to discover new artists, and then Plexamp as my music player. Plex automatically scrobbles what I listen to and last.fm feeds me recommendations.

Since starting with lidarr a couple years ago my music library has grown from zero to nearly 3000 albums. 41k tracks.

My setup is exactly the same, actually. I love last.fm and scrobbling, been doing it for 15 years probably.

I was trying to say that Lidarr isn’t a silver bullet. There are lots of ways to discover music, but OP seems happy with Spotify.

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.
