Not false, and shame on you for suggesting it.

I not only disagree, but sincerely hope you aren’t encouraging anyone to look up information using an LLM.

LLMs are toys right now.

Well, you’re certainly in the minority.

If you follow lidarr’s methods on cataloguing your music, sure. But most of us have developed our own way to organize music and lidarr blows at handling these:

• concert albums
• bootleg
• international releases with different track listings than north american version
• custom mp3 fields
• certain artwork
• playlists
• cddb tagged music (yes, even pulling the music directly from a disc.)
• flac album-year and album-artist tags
• multi-disc albums
• electronic music
• vinyl music tagged with picard

And god forbid you give lidarr free reign on your collection, it will start renaming, re-downloading and replacing music, essentially destroying your collection.

The problem is that there really isn’t a standard way to categorize music, but lidarr wants to impose one.

It is not a search box. It generates words we know are confidently wrong quite often.

“Asking” gpt is like asking a magic 8 ball; it’s fun, but it has zero meaning.

I don’t understand the willingness to forgive error … Would you go to a person if you knew for a fact that 1 of 5 things they say is wrong?

Finally moved all my lxc onto a lower-power Xeon D host, consumes 1/3 the electricity of my previous Dell R430, same essential performance.

24gb memory and 4 OCPU . the CPU doesnt sound like much, but if its using the ampere back end and not the amd micro, the CPU performance scales up with demand (to a point).

I have two containers running, one using 16gb memory and another using 4gb, they each have one cpu and they perform fine for what they do.

From my experience with sonarr and radarr, I thought lidarr would be great, but it’s garbage.

Bandcamp isn’t what it used to be, apparently there’s a better service for music now, I’m sorry I can’t recall the name.

Navidrome should serve you well for Spotify replacement. It uses the subsonic api, so you can use any app that supports that, and there are many.

Regarding sync phone with server, you might want some thing like synching or nextcloud with a local player on your phone. My music collection is 1.5TB, so I simply stream and have only a few select albums downloaded locally on the phone.

Current modern supercomputers are actually a mesh of relatively lower spec machines, not a single “computer”, per se. The cost of these isn’t the hardware, it’s the low-latency interconnects and writing the software that can carry out jobs in a massively parallel way.
