I setup lidarr but downloading the entire albums of each artist is
really frustrating. I’d rather just search for a song title and get it
downloaded. Besides, most of Lidarr artists doesn’t return with a
download. Torrent gets stalled. Am I doing something wrong here? I
have setup indexers using Prowlarr too.

As I said in a similar thread, find music is not so easy with lidarr.
You can find better trackers, try to enter in private ones, pay for
Usenet or just search songs manually with Soulseek. I ended up with a
combination of the last two, based on what I need

Can you tell me more about Soulseek?

[Soulseek](http://www.slsknet.org/news/) is a P2P file sharing
software, used mostly to share music. Basically people share their
music collection through this software and you can download files
directly from people PCs.

I'm still using deemix.
Unfortunately, it does not get updated anymore, but it still works.

With it, you can download songs directly from Deezer.

Try lidarr on steroids. It integrates with deemix.

Same so I made a Docker Image to get the missing Lidarr albums, then
search YouTube music and download via metube...

I heard Deemix is pretty popular.

I use [spotDL](https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). They
have a web interface available as well now. By default it doesn't have
the organization of lidarr but it's very easy to put that together
with a python script

Yup I felt the same way didn't end up using it.

Plugging in [Nicotine+](https://nicotine-plus.org/) : Soulseek with a
better interface.
