For those like me who self host their music library, even though its managed by lidarr, its really a pain to find new music easily. So I made this script that auto adds new music to lidarr for me.
There are a few caveats to know
- I haven't containerized this yet
- it doesnt work with lidarr yet, once a PR goes live it will
- left unchecked this could add massive amounts of music to your library.
Here's how it works, you first have to have ListenBrainz linked to where ever you listen to music, spotify, last.fm, apple music, soundcloud, and/or youtube (plexamp too, you just link to last.fm first). Listenbrainz then generates these weekly exploration playlists that can be accessed via their API. This then grabs those playlists, extracts the artist musicbrainz id, and then sends it to lidarr to be added.
Now, anyone who can contribute please do. My next task is to containerize it and add it to dockerhub, then make a unraid template, as thats where i will be using it.
