So I’ve been getting back into torrenting because I’m fed up with the inability to actually own the music I pay for. I used to torrent a lot back in the day, mostly music with a bit of anime and obscure/foreign movies and TV shows here and there, but that was a long time ago. I had been going back to the most famous of all coastal bodies of water where buccaneers reside, but I just tried too go there only to find it’s currently not working. I know from lurking here that 1337x and rargb are no longer safe and LT doesn’t have much to offer. All I want is music, but it seems most places are geared towards TV and movies. Where does an audiophile turn to in times like these?

    My go to for audio privacy is lidarr (radarr for movies, readarr for books, and sonarr for TV). Let’s you connect to multiple torrent sites (and usenet indexers which I highly recommend), add the artists and tracks you want to get, and it does the the rest. The *arr suite in general makes piracy so much nicer and easier tbh. One bit advantage is that once you add a track/album/artist that you want to track, you don’t need to worry about it unless you come across a file that isn’t what it was reported as. No way around it sometimes things are mislabeled when they’re uploaded, so you can just go in, blocklist that release and delete the file, and lidarr will grab a different version. Want all new albums or songs by an artist? You can set it to automatically monitor those and download them when it’s available on one of your torrent sites.

      Lidarr is useless if you don’t have any site to download from. OP is asking for a website, not a bot.

        Basically any site then find they can add to lidarr and use, it sounded like they didn’t want to deal with hopping between multiple sites, so they can just add several from the list
