Hey everyone,

I'm new here! I wanted to share a music search and discovery tool for Lidarr. It plugs into Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Plex/Tautulli, Jellyfin, and even some AI recommendations.

GitHub: https://github.com/aquantumofdonuts/mixarr/releases/tag/latest

Website: https://aquantumofdonuts.github.io/mixarr/

What it does:

  • Connects to Lidarr and analyzes your existing artists
  • Hooks into Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Plex/Tautulli, and AI services
  • Finds related/similar artists, new releases, charts, labels, playlists, etc.
  • Gives you a review queue to approve or dismiss discovered artists
  • Automatically adds approved artists to Lidarr with the profile you choose
  • Has a universal search and discovery interface across all services
  • Runs as a web app (Next.js frontend + Express backend) and plays nice with Docker

Why I built it:

I wanted one tool that I could point at my Lidarr library and get a steady stream of relevant artist recommendations.

Basically, make music discovery feel as automated and “infrastructure-y” as the rest of the *arr ecosystem.

Current status:

  • Working with Lidarr + Spotify/TIDAL/Deezer/Last.fm/MusicBrainz + Plex/Tautulli
  • Has subscriptions for different discovery sources (charts, playlists, related & followed artists, etc.)
  • Docker-compose setup available, plus local dev if you prefer
  • Early but usable; I’m actively using it myself and iterating

If you try it, I’d love to hear any feedback! Thanks!

Awesome!! I had been wanting to make something like this, but never got around to it. Excited to try it out tomorrow

How hard do you suppose it would be to add integration with Qobuz?

[–] aquantumofdonuts@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I could look into it. Open an issue on Github if you like, and I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

How does this compare to lidify

Just spun it a up earlier today, looks great! I'm wondering if maybe I'm misunderstanding how listenbrainz subs work. The explore subscription doesn't pull in my users "weekly exploration" playlist, it's totally unrelated songs it's pulling. Although it does appear to pull in accurate listenbrainz artist recommendations

[–] aquantumofdonuts@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting, that could be a bug. I'll check it out. Thanks!

[–] aquantumofdonuts@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry, which subscription specifically were you using? I'll try to reproduce the behavior you're seeing. Might be an easy fix.

Listenbrainz Explore

I just noticed there is an explore tab on listenbrainz, is that what this is supposed to pull from? I was thinking it was supposed to pull from the weekly exploration playlist listenbrainz creates.

I haven’t figured out how to use the we hook feature to connect to Pushover… maybe it can’t?

[–] arthor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

really liking this.. i've been using SoulSync, but its very buggy, and its mainly a soulseek driven downloader.. lidarr is the way to go,

which trackers are good for music? should i just try and get a red invite?

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (7 children)

I am trying to put this behind Haproxy but not having much luck, I keep getting "client sent an HTTP request to an HTTPS server".

Anyone have a clue how to resolve this?

I understand this image has its own caddy reverse proxy, not sure how to bypass that at the moment.
