The reason I gave up on MP3's and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I've been listening "Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds" song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I'm trying to find "Stremio" of the music world. Can someone assist?

Key features I'm looking for:

  • Synchronization between devices
  • Offline play
  • Playlist support
  • Both desktop and mobile apps
  • Wide music library (optional if I will upload music)
  • Lyrics (optional)

Update: thanks to everyone who shared their solutions 🙏

I checked out Lidarr and it only supports usenet and bittorrent. Unfortunately it won’t work for “local” music I think.

Lidarr doesn't need your whole library, just what you need to download. You can add your local music to Jellyfin alongside anything you get from -Arr services.

I know when I've used Sonarr it's also managed to parse my local library when I've added a series I've already downloaded to look for future episodes.

Makes sense 🤔 I’ll check Jellyfin for music capabilities first and maybe then I can try Lidarr. Thank you 🤗

What do you mean "local"? Lidarr is not a player. It looks at your already existing music files and pulls any missing albums from the list of artist you already have.

Wrong word. I meant I’m from a 3rd world country and the music from my country can’t be found on public indexers. Not a native speaker 🤷‍♂️

Haha, be careful with the word 'local' when talking about IT stuff. I took it as 'local machine'.

In terms of your actual tastes, I wouldn't know where to recommend for that. I don't do much music piracy myself outside of SittingOnClouds for game soundtracks that I then put on Jellyfin and YouTube Music (Nintendo put your fucking soundtracks on music services I swear to God).

Unfortunately, I think "local" is the best word usually, just not when also talking about computers. I've tried to think of an alternative and haven't come up with one. I think you need a phrase like "music from local artists" or something.
