I’m looking for a YR-DLP GUI for just music, or a good way to access music in general. I had a lidarr-on-steroids instance running but it kept disconnecting from deezer and i’d love to get that back up and running but it looks like it’s not supported any more. Yt-dlp looks like a decent enough plan B, but i’m open to other discussion
So Lidarr/NZBGet (or whatever you use) are pretty straight forward.
It gets complex with beets. Not that it is inherently complex, it just has an absolute shit ton of options. You want to start with a yaml config, and just get the feel of how it operates. There are lots of “howto’s” online, but unfortunately “beets” is a way to simple search. So you need to beef it with some specifics related to ahem music.
The manual and github do have it well documented. I would suggest starting with a subset of your collection, and just tinkering, (move files from /home/a to /home/b, convert to mp3 and fix ID3). It comes together pretty quickly. But the configurables of beets is crazy (in a good way).
Other things like triggering scans from LMS etc, they are documented on their respective sites.
I’ll fess up - its not immediately for the faint hearted, but its probably not that hard for most people - who actually read documents and learn.
