Lidarr VS Emby

I highly recommend Lidarr for organization/naming of your library. It's usually associated with piracy, but I just use it to maintain my self-ripped library and ensure that Plex has no issues discovering all my media.

Lidarr: Manages music libraries.

Lidarr + Jellyfin?

Lidarr handles your music downloads, sorts them and adds the correct metadata for your library to be picked up by Jellyfin. It will also upgrade your media if a better version is found. https://lidarr.audio/ there is also lidarr extended, which has extra features https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/docker-lidarr-extended

This method doesn't help at all, or I am doing something entirely wrong.

Lidarr (Music): https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr Lidarr can also pull down new album releases for artists, but that's something I usually have turned off (the artists I love I buy the CD for anyway).

Try https://lidarr.audio/

Lidarr: Music

Just a side note there is lidarr that has webui that handles music, not tried soulseek looking at it now, so don't know if it's the same..

I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Media Server: EMBY

I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.

I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media.
