Hey everyone,

I'm new here! I wanted to share a music search and discovery tool for Lidarr. It plugs into Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Plex/Tautulli, Jellyfin, and even some AI recommendations.

GitHub: https://github.com/aquantumofdonuts/mixarr

Website: https://aquantumofdonuts.github.io/mixarr/

What it does:

  • Connects to Lidarr and analyzes your existing artists
  • Hooks into Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Plex/Tautulli, and AI services
  • Finds related/similar artists, new releases, charts, labels, playlists, etc.
  • Gives you a review queue to approve or dismiss discovered artists
  • Automatically adds approved artists to Lidarr with the profile you choose
  • Has a universal search and discovery interface across all services
  • Runs as a web app (Next.js frontend + Express backend) and plays nice with Docker

Why I built it:

I wanted one tool that I could point at my Lidarr library and get a steady stream of relevant artist recommendations.

Basically, make music discovery feel as automated and “infrastructure-y” as the rest of the *arr ecosystem.

Current status:

  • Working with Lidarr + Spotify/TIDAL/Deezer/Last.fm/MusicBrainz + Plex/Tautulli
  • Has subscriptions for different discovery sources (charts, playlists, related & followed artists, etc.)
  • Docker-compose setup available, plus local dev if you prefer
  • Early but usable; I’m actively using it myself and iterating

If you try it, I’d love to hear any feedback! Thanks!

EDIT: version 2.0 released today February 10, 2026, with some nice updates

Might also consider looking into Navidrome support. Not sure if it's even possible but in my experience Jellyfin's music experience is kinda crappy.
