That annas archive Spotify dump plus streamio would go a long way.

Not an aggregator, but...
Too many releases, too much metadata.
New music ingestion has an actual department staffed with people at those companies. The pirates just can’t keep up.

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.
It should be possible but I’m guessing that the final result would not be as seamless as Stremio. If you’ve ever tried using Lidarr you’ll realize that a lot of music just can’t be found in public trackers. Even if it is available, the file name formatting is not as consistent as it is for TV or Movie torrents. Since songs are so much shorter than other forms of media that adds a lot of friction. Using a streaming service, self hosted or otherwise, is probably the better solution anyways.

I don’t know what your experience with soulsseek has been but I’ve loved it. However, if you think the experience should be more seamless and integrated, you should program a bridge for slskd and navidrome that runs the downloaded media through MusicBrainz Picard or beets before putting it in the Navidrome library.
Not enough people seed or distribute music. The only good way I know is downloading from YouTube, but YouTube is working hard on blocking this too.

Idk about the usability of stremio because I've never used it, but I type my music into one search box, 99% of the time click the first or second result in the result list, and about 10 seconds later it's in my music folder. I really don't know what I would improve there.
Fwiw, soulseek's usability is not horrid. I have about 8500 albums, mostly downloaded from there and bandcamp. I also combined libraries with a few friends over the years, which is always fun to just bring over a hard drive and share.
Yes, it's more work but with things like Plexamp I have all the music I could ever want and it works wonderfully when remote, even does the whole "radio" suggested artists thing within my own library.
Another friend of mine has 38k albums. Sometimes I'll change the source to his and bop around.
What good is piracy unless you're amassing a huge server full of all your favorite media
You can use something like Debird Vault as a decent facsimile
Are you having any problems with stremio currently? Since the weekend the t.v. app won't stream anything very well at all and keeps kicking me out or crashing all together. I've uninstalled and re-installed the app but it hasn't helped. Any advice would be great.
