    Saw this and set it up. Hopefully it will grow and get better as a tracker the worst part about self hosting music is most of the time the music data is pulled from musicbrainz but new music or lesser known artists are never there I end up adding most of the music I listen to to there database.

    Edit: does not seem to work as anticipated it does not read albums you have only artists and is now telling me every album I that has released this year from the artists I have. Still interesting and will follow this project closely. Maybe I missed a release lol.

      Doesn’t Lidarr do a similar thing? Not sure if it operates the same if you don’t have the arr part of it going.

        Lidarr might do it but I no longer run it as it didn’t really work well for me but I have not touched it in over a year. Also music torrents are very rare from my experience. I recently heard about “lidar on steroids” but have yet to fully look into it.

        Edit: it looks the it has been updated to have a UI now so maybe it does read albums

          It works great with usenet, detects albums you have and looks for those you don’t, with a decent UI for managing.
