I’m tired of being screwed over so I’m done. So far I have:
- Installed YouTube music and YouTube via Morphe
- Installed uBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and YouTube Enhanced on Firefox
- I’ve also installed YT-DLP to download videos if I have to.
Yet to do:
- Work out the best app for my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019
- Work out if there are any alternatives or way to still use my google nest minis in any way.
Does anyone have any advice or tools to help improve the experience?
Finally I have to add that I do also have a full ARR suite installed and setup on a raspberry pi for but I’ve always found Lidarr to be the weakest of the bunch. Works a treat for my TV shows and Music


Lidarr is also no source but a search engine. If you don’t supply it with indexers it’s of course “shit”.
Same as the eternal issue of bing vs google as a search engine.
Comparing apples and oranges…
Hi. I’m not saying it’s shit. I know you need an indexer. I just wasn’t a huge fan of how it oragnised music and it struggles with discs with multiple artists etc. Maybe I didn’t know hoe best to utilise it properly, which is most likely the case.
It doesnt organize what musicbrainz isnt providing. And it does what musicbrainz does.
The main artist is the sorting artist.
Additional artists are just that. Additions.
If it is an even collab, it’s either under ‘Various Artists’ or on the other artist.
Does it bother me? Yep.
I think how Spotify does it, it’s better (listing all artists on the album). But that’s now how the industry seems to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
