+## What is Lidarr?
+
+`Lidarr` is a music collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new tracks from your favorite artists and will grab, sort, and rename them. It also allows you to automatically upgrade the quality of files already in your library when a better format becomes available.
+
+Lidarr is part of the "Arr" suite of applications (like Sonarr and Radarr) and integrates deeply with indexers and download clients to automate the entire music acquisition process.
+
+## Status: Decommissioned
+
+I am no longer actively using `Lidarr` in my homelab. While the automation features are powerful, I found that music torrent indexers are increasingly unreliable or inconsistent compared to other media types (Movies/TV). The difficulty in consistently finding high-quality or niche music through torrent sites made automation via Lidarr more trouble than it was worth.
+
+> [!tip] Recommendation: Nicotine+ / Soulseek
+> If you are looking for a more reliable way to source music, I highly recommend using **Nicotine+** (Soulseek). It is a peer-to-peer network dedicated to music sharing where it is significantly easier to find high-quality (FLAC/320kbps), rare, or niche albums that rarely surface on public or private torrent trackers.
+
+For my current workflow, I use [Nicotine+](../nicotine) for downloads, [MusicBrainz Picard](../musicbrainz-picard) for tagging, and [Navidrome](../navidrome) for streaming.
