What public indexers do people advise for audio?

I am using Lidarr, so the pool of options is somewhat limited. Naturally it would be preferable to have access to one or two private trackers, such as Redacted or Orpheus, but life is what it is (invites are understandably hard to come by).

If OP takes the Soulpill, I offer some tips:

  • Don't despair if search results carry a [private] prefix. Some of these people just got frustrated once upon a time and decided to whitelist peers rather than blacklist. Often they just want a polite PM asking for access. It pays to be inquisitive, so check their User Info for information.
  • Chat rooms don't need to be occupied to obtain or download search results. In fact it's usually better to ignore them.
  • 99 per cent of users would rather you share 3 albums than 500 system files.

Is Soulseek mainly for music, rather than audiobooks? Tried to search for audiobooks on my to-find list but no dice.

Appreciate your guidance, was completely unaware of this network before now, gives me Limewire vibes for some reason.

My whole library is on offer, it isn’t too small, hopefully that will be enough to satisfy people.

Probably will continue with torrents alongside, I do like the Lidarr interface.

I'm hosting slskd and Lidarr on Unraid and pretty much only using slskd as a download client. That way I can use Lidarr to rename/organize/tag everything like I want. Only drawback is still having to download stuff from the slskd web ui and then go back to Lidarr, so some of the automation benefits are lost. But soulseek has provided better quality and access to the music i'm looking for, so it's been worth it.

Nice! I’ll ditch Nicotine+ in favour of this web client.

I don’t mind some manual activities, the arrs have definitely spoilt me this past year or two, sometimes the hunt is half of the enjoyment.
