Started on Napster back in ‘98, moved to Usenet, and I’ve been deep in the arr ecosystem ever since. Last night I finally decided to ditch Apple Music and set up Lidarr with Plexamp. Got everything configured, Lidarr connected to SABnzbd.

Then I sat down and actually started thinking about recreating my Apple Music library and just… stopped. I have thousands of songs and hundreds of albums, and here’s the kicker a lot of them are incomplete because I only like certain tracks. Lidarr is album-only, so it’s not a 1:1 replacement for how I actually listen to music.
I’ve been on the high seas for movies, shows, and audiobooks for years and never looked back. But music? I don’t know. There’s something about the way streaming services handle mixed libraries and partial albums that’s hard to replicate in the self-hosted world.
Anyone else been down this rabbit hole? Did you find a workflow that actually works for track-level curation, or did you just accept full albums and move on?

Anyone run double CMC Clutches and think they would like this tool?
