    Sonarr still the best IMHO And radar ofc.

    The others 'are meh, stopped using them in favor or other ways.

        slsks is good for music, but it’s not as automatic as lidarr (which is broken anyway)

        And for books / audiobooks I think manually with telegram and/or plain old torrents is the only way. Readarr again is just broken and unable to manage books and audiobooks.

        And Audiobookshelf is an amazing audiobooks and podcast playback platform that you can self-host.

          There’s chaptarr that is in development as a replacement for readarr though I don’t think there is a public download for it yet.

          What happened to lidarr is it not supported anymore?

          For plain ebooks there’s a Calibre plugin that integrates Anna’s Archive as a store. Requires a paid account but works okay in my limited experience.

              I assumed OP is after some kind of media manager with integrated download capabilities and Zlib doesn’t have anything similar as far as I know.

                Oh right, I just download via zlib and import into Calibre, but I guess that’s a more manual operation

            To be fair, i have a paid Spotify account and occasionally sync my playlists using Spotizer. I have long removed lidarr because it’s pretty bad experience overall anyway. Slskd is there for all the other music needs.

        Not as popular but there are other apps that do TV automation, SickChill and Medusa for example are still active forks of the old SickBeard/SickRage software.

        There are probably others I’m not thinking of right this second, nowadays people mostly prefer using the *arr stack for automation (Sonarr, Radarr, all the other arrs).

    • Couch Potato is pretty much dead, Radarr is the way to go.

    • Back in the day Sabnzbd was considered slow and inefficient so Nzbget was usually recommended. These days both are pretty much indistinguishable performance-wise and Sabnzbd seems to get more active development.
