minus-squareFauxLiving@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·21 days agoIt’s a vastly superior experience. I don’t have to deal with annoying authentication, no ads, works on everything, all content is available in a single app/user interface. Cheap. I split the $40/mo seedbox charge with 3 siblings, we all save on streaming. I even have audiobookshelf because I like listening to audiobooks. No music yet, I don’t have a good (private tracker) source

minus-squareFauxLiving@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·21 days agoI’ve used Usenet, I can see how it would be good for music. Being able to grab individual tracks on demand would be nice. What’s the software stack used now? Manual downloading nzbs from index sites? or is there an *arr equivalent?
