Currently dealing with extraordinarily slow network interface speeds on my NAS. Did a quick IO test with dd, and the results were great. I’d troubleshot this before to no avail, let the device power cycle and network speeds were fine afterwards. No dice this time, so I’m just replacing most of the hardware aside from the drive pool since I’d planned to anyways. Will troubleshoot my router’s network card as well for sanity’s sake.

I use a combination of Navidrome, Lidarr + slskd & deemix, and Mixarr, with beets to organize and add metadata to my library. Theres multiple plugins that exist for slskd integration, and deemix still works, you just need to extract your ARL.

Mixarr is decent and has options for recommendations. Though as of right now Spotify and Deezer integration won’t work cause they shut down making apps to access their API.

I use a hacky script and custom containers with SSH enabled to allow Lidarr to trigger beets to import music after Lidarr has downloaded and imported into its own library. But Lidarr does a good enough job of being organized and beets isn’t necessary to get a library going!
