Could someone kindly ELI5 how to lidarr-ize my liked tracks from Spotify, please?
My collection there is quite static and I think I'm a good candidate to go MP3/AAC/whatever 🏴☠️ plus Spotify free just to keep up to date with newly released singles/albums from time to time.
Thanks!
P.S. also what comes after would be great, i.e. how I can batch transfer all those files from my home server running lidarr to my Android phone/PC and keep them in sync after the initial transfer. Plus also a nice feature rich Android app, either free (no ads) or even better open source with an accessible price.
Also, if you're up for the self-hosted life, what comes next is a music server. If you have good access to WiFi or unlimited data, this eliminates storage as a bottle neck. I recommend Navidrome. But something like Jellyfin or Plex can do Movies and TV, if you want a 1 size fits all.
If you're not, look into Syncthing. You chose a folder on your computer and one on your phone and this app keeps them in sync. After that, my favorite player was GoneMad. It's offline, with real support for music tags. This allowed song ratings and real smart playlists
Thanks!
Yeah I forgot to mention that I'm already living the self hosted life, I got a small home server with the arr suite, jellyfin and a few other containers.
Didn't know about syncthing, I'll definitely check it out. Same for GoneMad 👍🏻
Thanks again!
Skip Lidarr for your initial move. Use Deemix. You can find links to premium ARLs on the wiki or with a google search (or DM me).
Deemix has an option to sign in with your Spotify account and download playlists. There's a weird song count limit, and you may have to manually hit some tracks. But this is the way.
You can also do Flac with this setup. You don't necessarily need it, but if you're making the move, I recommend it. Since Flac is lossless, there's never going to be an upgrade.
