Any good private trackers for music (lemmy.eco.br)

Hello, recently I've been on the hunt for a private music tracker to populate my Lidarr Instance, I've found REDacted and Orpheus quite appealing, but they're "hard" to get into and are mostly for audiophiles.

I'm not an audiophile (more like a brokeyphile) and I don't want to wait 3-5 weeks on something I'll be just seeding instead of being active, do y'all have any recommendations? All I can offer is seeding 24/7 and a few proofs that I have good ratios

Given streaming is so ubiquitous, private music trackers have a hard time having a big enough library to meet all of a users needs.

OPS is great but even they don't have all the tracks I search for. RED is better since there's more incentive to upload and more users.

Lucida and other DDL sites listed on fmhy are likely your best bet, aside from maybe rutracker.

I just wanted to be a "good Samaritan" and help other users get the music instead of just downloading it once from a random DDL website that will probably be taken down in 3 years.

I technically wouldn't get in trouble by using a public tracker like RuTracker, but considering how laws are quickly changing in Brazil i think it would be best to thread carefully...

Might I suggest a hybrid approach? Pull from a DDL, verify quality, fix metadata, and then put your whole library up on a searchable DC like Soulseek or a DC++ group(are those even still around anymore?) Torrents if you want to make the effort of compiling the torrents.

I looked at Soulseek and it appeared like a mess of disorganized libraries, random compilations, and I couldn’t even find some major bands or albums on it. But I suppose that’s to be expected.
