What I meant was Soularr. Sorry there are just too many of these apps with similar names. Soularr is a python script that runs in docker and it checks Lidarr (I believe) and then sends that info back to slskd. It was checking my artist list in my navidrome dir and then checking slskd and downloading absolutely everything I didn’t have by that artist. It ran for a few months, but I was kind of a novice at self hosting and a lot of duplicate files were created because I didn’t have the volumes mapped properly in docker. Then I wrote a script that accidentaly created an infinite loop that started copying all the files one level deeper then would repeat . I stopped it after like 4 iterations. Long story short I have four copies of a bunch of files and I got lost with Beets and plan to start over from scratch with the original source library.
Well. I mean soulseek lists the quality of the file and you can set that so you don’t download poor quality. I wouldn’t worry about it. I;ve never had a problem with soulseek either with the app or with slskd. I have spotify and apple music so I’m, you know, doing the bare minimum to suport artists. I have a lot of live music and rare music that spotify simply will never have.
I stopped slskd because of the duplicates and also because I was worried it would run me out of space because I have a lot of artist in my library.
