That sounds like a good alternative for me. I didn’t use lidarr to pull in new releases, mainly to tag and organise the files on disk, I’d mostly import albums manually when I come across something I want. So I wanna drop an album in some import directory, get it tagged with listenbrainz data and placed in the right place. Is that achievable with beets?

I’ve got the same setup and have been waiting for the lidarr cache API to get fixed but it has been taking ages. Are you running beets at the same time as lidarr and how does it compare functionality wise? Would you be able to switch from lidarr or are you planning to go back to it eventually? I realized that having to rely on stability of someone else’s cache server is not ideal.
