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.

The pirates just can’t keep up.
You should check out private music trackers. The pirates are literally racing to get new releases up there. Maybe they aren't quite as complete as some music services but I think it would be hard to argue that they aren't keeping up.
Care to share some? Public trackers are trash for music.
Yeah like you can listen to anything on red
What does that mean?
It’s exceedingly hard to get ratio on redd
It is definitely slow, but once you get quite a bit of stuff it isn't that bad. But if you want to easier economy just go for OPS.
They do give away lots of freeleech tokens to get your ratio going, tho
That annas archive Spotify dump plus streamio would go a long way.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
