Why Do You Pirate Music? (sopuli.xyz)

I recently set up Sonarr and Radarr on my home server and I'm loving it.

However, I don't get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it's faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

To me it seems like it would be much better to have a tool like Lidarr or have support in Jellyseerr to download music from common streaming services.

IIRC, Spotify added FLAC recently

I see a lot of news of it "coming soon" and leaks, but not an official release. Do you have more info?

Just looked it up, it doesn't seem to be available yet

This is the only thing I could find on it. Seems it’s still in testing.

Hopefully soon though!

I will be surprised if Spotify won't announce a new more expensive HIFI subscription with their support for lossless audio. Imo this still makes it less interesting than Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz since it'll still be impossible to permanently download music from Spotify.

Nonetheless it's great that Spotify will provide lossless audio for those who want it.
