Hi all i am new to self hosting, I have everything just about set up. I am on linux server (docker host). I am good with movies/tv VPN Jellyfin etc. For music I have llidar and slskd setup and both running. I have tinkered Wireguard and Finamp and had it working.

So i have these 2 problem/s I could do with some advice/opinions on if you guys would be lovely enough to help.

  1. I am currently using SLSKD more as I like partial albums. I then do a manual import via Wanted...this is cumbersome as i have to then add the artist etc in lidar, then go import the tunes.

  2. I have a ton of old spotify playlists for example 80s etc. I would like to be able to bring them in and automate it somehow rather than finding them one song at a time.

I hate AI but its somewhat helpful in these situations. It suggested adding soulmate (docker) that has been slightly problematic, i also saw tubifarry and another plugin.

What are your suggestions of a route to take for my problems...should i faff about further with soulmate or another option? Nice to meet you all ๐Ÿ™‚

I have tried https://github.com/sirk123au/ArrTools lidarr_add_from_list.py Add Artists from a csv formatted file. with little luck.

I spent quite a bit of time matching the artist ID and i just got repeated errors - mostly around headers in my sheet, then commas and tabs. I used the csv template in the hub but gave up after a whilst. Even then if i had managed to succeed this just brings the artist list, not the song etc.
