I'm want to move away from Spotify but my current Lidarr setup isn't doing very well at finding music. Are there any torrent sites dedicated to music?

I'm gonna second Soulseek. It is pretty old, but so many of the people who use it are collectors who organize their collections well, and I've found some pretty obscure stuff on there as well.

I haven't tried it myself, but I want to try Soularr, which apparently lets Lidarr use Soulseek as a source.

Soularr works pretty well in conjunction with slskd. If you know how to use soulseek, it shouldn't be too hard to get set up. The interface is quite different from the other *arrs, but it was easy enough to set up for me.

I'm running on Windows and can't get Soularr to reliably look for it download songs. Any advice?

I'm set up in containers on Linux, but there should be a config file you point to both lidarr and slskd. You'll need the api key for each for them to connect, and in each you need them pointing to the same download location.

Getting it to work with Lidarr would be the most ideal situation. The biggest hurdle I'm facing is my wife wanting an easy solution. With Lidarr I can reverse proxy so she can request songs still.
