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.

YouTube and Spotify don’t have flac or alac filetypes.

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?
