About Lidarr
Lidarr is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It watches for new albums from artists you follow and fetches them for you.
What it does
Lidarr monitors RSS feeds and import lists for new albums from your favourite artists. It sends matching releases to your download client and sorts them into your library. It can upgrade files in place when a better quality format becomes available, and it writes consistent metadata tags to your music so the library looks uniform. A calendar shows upcoming album releases, and manual search lets you pick a release yourself. Lists from supported services can be used to add artists or albums automatically.

Who it's for
Music collectors who want a library that updates itself. It suits people who run a download client and have indexers set up, and who want their collection tidy without manual tagging.
Pricing and good to know
Lidarr is free and open source under the GPL. Costs come from your server and any indexer or download accounts. Installers are available for Windows, and Docker and Linux options exist too. Check the Servarr wiki for installation and migration notes, especially if you are moving from an older version of the software.
