Is there something like Spotify Downloader or yt-dlp for Lidarr?

I got spotify playlists imported into Lidarr, but the artists I listen to don't seem to have any torrents.

I don't mind the quality hit of something like spotifydownloader which pulls from youtube. Is there anything like that or yt-dlp integrated into Lidarr for automated downloads?

While I love the *arrs for video, I found Lidarr pretty damn awful, perhaps it's OK with usenet but not torrent without specialised private trackers. Anywho, I found the Soulseek network, spiritual successor to Napster, which has most of everything, usually at high bitrate, and take pleasure hand curating a personal library. I like the Nicotine client. There's so much more music than video that it makes sense to be choosy, I'm my own personal DJ...

Is there a way to automate downloads? As mentioned in my original post I'm hoping to essentially mirror a few Spotify playlists and have my server automatically download either all of the songs on the playlist or all of the songs by the artists appearing on the playlists.

Nah, I'm suggesting you actually use some human agency. I've found it pleasing, a couple of hours can often net thousands of hours of listening time. You've got a list to start from, why not give it a go ?

I feel you but I've already got curated playlists of over 3,000 songs me and friends have spent a few years putting together. I actually don't mind the idea of pulling each artists whole disco as lidarr does. My current roadblock is the lack of good resources/tools that automate the process.
