Hi all i am new to self hosting, I have everything just about set up. I am on linux server (docker host). I am good with movies/tv VPN Jellyfin etc. For music I have llidar and slskd setup and both running. I have tinkered Wireguard and Finamp and had it working.

So i have these 2 problem/s I could do with some advice/opinions on if you guys would be lovely enough to help.

  1. I am currently using SLSKD more as I like partial albums. I then do a manual import via Wanted…this is cumbersome as i have to then add the artist etc in lidar, then go import the tunes.

  2. I have a ton of old spotify playlists for example 80s etc. I would like to be able to bring them in and automate it somehow rather than finding them one song at a time.

I hate AI but its somewhat helpful in these situations. It suggested adding soulmate (docker) that has been slightly problematic, i also saw tubifarry and another plugin.

What are your suggestions of a route to take for my problems…should i faff about further with soulmate or another option? Nice to meet you all 🙂

    Lidarr isn’t really meant for that so you’re always going to fighting things I unfortunately

        Looks like mixarr is for discovering new content? is that true? It does not seem to import or pull old content. I am happy to told they do if i am wrong.

    ok i added soulbeet which works with slskd. It isnt bad, simple enough to setup like the arrs. UI is simple to navigate but basic functionality.

    In terms of finding content it does, but its a tad slow, its a good 90 seconds cycle to typing a song title, it then looks for it, i confirm its the correct option, it then relooks for the actual file. It then bounces across to a dl list.

    Mine 90% says error but when i look in slskd its kinda actioned.

    It is supposed to move the file from download to my library, it does not do that, i have the same with lidarr…so i think thats something wrong in my setup…i suspect filepath confusion.

    It does not import playlist (dev says coming) or multiplesongs/a list facility. so its just type a song at a a time.

    It places everything in a ‘singles’ folder which seems to sit alongside the albums folders. which is not quite a cohesive library. When i chose to manually move my singles (due to the non auto move) it took all my content inc the albums and put everything as singles, so now my library jellyfin/finamp does not display albums. Library management is tricky…anyone got a suggested setup?

    I have tried https://github.com/sirk123au/ArrTools lidarr_add_from_list.py Add Artists from a csv formatted file. with little luck.

    I spent quite a bit of time matching the artist ID and i just got repeated errors - mostly around headers in my sheet, then commas and tabs. I used the csv template in the hub but gave up after a whilst. Even then if i had managed to succeed this just brings the artist list, not the song etc.

    Import lists for adding the artist. You can see it to only monitor the specific album of that track. You can also mass import all your followed artists.
