I’ve been subbed to the newsletter basically since it started a year+ ago. It’s nice to get a glance at what’s new/updated, but I especially use it for the “breaking changes” info as I have setup my system to basically be hands-off, if-i-get-hit-by-a-bus-it-keeps-going, except if the docker config change. I have watchtower set to run every week, a day after the newsletter, so I’ve got time to check the email and make changes if needed.
I thought “oh, I’ll just be notified through github of new releases” and went through, setting that notification up, one by one, set to be put in a specific folder in my inbox so it’s right there, no external stuff needed… I’ve never looked at that folder, except for “holy fuck there’s a ton of mail in here” and then closing thunderbird, lol. So the newsletter is essential.
Saw this and set it up. Hopefully it will grow and get better as a tracker the worst part about self hosting music is most of the time the music data is pulled from musicbrainz but new music or lesser known artists are never there I end up adding most of the music I listen to to there database.
Edit: does not seem to work as anticipated it does not read albums you have only artists and is now telling me every album I that has released this year from the artists I have. Still interesting and will follow this project closely. Maybe I missed a release lol.
Lidarr might do it but I no longer run it as it didn’t really work well for me but I have not touched it in over a year. Also music torrents are very rare from my experience. I recently heard about “lidar on steroids” but have yet to fully look into it.
Edit: it looks the it has been updated to have a UI now so maybe it does read albums

Does this really need to be weekly? Surely a monthly or even quarterly update would make far more sense.

Doesn’t Lidarr do a similar thing? Not sure if it operates the same if you don’t have the arr part of it going.

It works great with usenet, detects albums you have and looks for those you don’t, with a decent UI for managing.
Love these but can’t believe bro resorted to sharing reddits posts since most of his readers are redditors lol
I hope the actual newsletter comes back soon
