We have Stremio for movies and TV, which works flawlessly by pulling from different sources (add-ons) including torrents into one clean UI. But when it comes to music, the options are either paying for Spotify/Tidal or dealing with clunky, manual setups.

I’ve seen apps like ViMusic or Innertune, but they are mostly just YouTube Music frontends. Soulseek is a p2p service and the usability is horrible.
I'm talking about a true, modular aggregator. That uses torrents and lossless databases.

I mean I have like 300gb of music ripped from Soulseek just with my phone in the past few months, but that doesn't change the fact I'm using an app that looks like it's from 2010 (which is awesome I made this post as an excuse to plug it with the new update) to do it. The usability does suck, downloads randomly fail because I can't upload with my setup & honestly I have no desire to contribute to a proprietary network, I seed stuff I find on there that I like on normal torrents

Maybe downloads randomly fail because people block you for not seeding 🙃

That's what I mean. I see the notifs, it's just on the user end like "my downloads randomly fail and I have to try a diff source" I get why it happens. I just think the seed/leech model is saner
