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
So, I don't run the 'arr stack', and am not interested in downloading, but I would like recommendations on new music. I am running Navidrome which scrobbles to Listenbrainz. How would Mixarr fit into this scenario?
I pushed an update that adds a "review only" mode, with Lidarr no longer being a required connection.
https://github.com/aquantumofdonuts/mixarr/releases/tag/v1.1.1
Add any Subscription and set the result handling to "add to review queue". Then, just look in the Review Queue tab for your recommendations.
Oh snap! Man, you didn't have to do all that just for one dipshit who didn't understand what Mixarr was. I should have done a bit more reading. I feel embarrassed. I will spin this up in an hour or two when I get my chores done. Thank you so much!
Haha no worries! It's a useful feature. No reason to lock the subscription engine behind a Lidarr connection.
But I think I will rest for a while now lol.
Why would you need this for your scenario? If you're not downloading you can simply check the listenbrainz recommendations in the playlists that it creates for you
Because I'm a dumbass who didn't really understand what was going on. Kindly disregard the doddering old man.
Oh lol I see, it happens
