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.

There's no need when it's a lot easier to leach off existing music streaming services. See: https://forum.mobilism.me/viewforum.php?f=1332

In my experience - the Spotify cracks break frequently and require too regular patching to be worthwhile, but other platforms like Deezer tend to be pretty stable.

Stremio is a solution to video content being divided among platforms in a way that music is not, and there platforms being a lot more difficult to leach off of.
