Sonarr still the best IMHO And radar ofc.

The others 'are meh, stopped using them in favor or other ways.

What are some other ways?

slsks is good for music, but it's not as automatic as lidarr (which is broken anyway)

And for books / audiobooks I think manually with telegram and/or plain old torrents is the only way. Readarr again is just broken and unable to manage books and audiobooks.

And Audiobookshelf is an amazing audiobooks and podcast playback platform that you can self-host.

you can hook slskd into lidarr with a script called soularr so it automatically grabs all your shit

To be fair, i have a paid Spotify account and occasionally sync my playlists using Spotizer. I have long removed lidarr because it's pretty bad experience overall anyway. Slskd is there for all the other music needs.
