What public indexers do people advise for audio?

I am using Lidarr, so the pool of options is somewhat limited. Naturally it would be preferable to have access to one or two private trackers, such as Redacted or Orpheus, but life is what it is (invites are understandably hard to come by).

      Soulseek is cool but I’ve found a lot of the flacs on it to just be transcoded. (You can check with spectral analysis, frequencies dont extend all the way to 22 kHz)

      Thanks for this - I was completely unaware of Soalseek.

      I now have it installed, with the necessary port forwarding in place, seems relatively straightforward to use. Unfortunately the (perhaps obscure) artists I’m looking for are not well serviced, but I presume it’s a case of checking back from time to time.
