DroppedNeedle

Self-hosted music request and discovery app with a built-in library and download engine — no Lidarr required.

Webfreeglobal

DroppedNeedle is a free, open-source, self-hosted music request and discovery app with its own built-in library and download engine, positioned as a simpler alternative to setting up Lidarr. Users search the MusicBrainz catalogue, request albums or tracks, and the app organizes and tags the library while driving downloads through a user-supplied download client. It streams to Jellyfin, Navidrome, or Plex and scrobbles listening history to ListenBrainz and Last.fm.
