# 🎵 SoulSync - Automated Music Discovery & Collection Manager
-Bridge the gap between streaming services and your local music library. Automatically sync Spotify/Tidal/YouTube playlists to Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome via Soulseek.
+**Bridge streaming services to your local music library.** Automatically sync Spotify/Tidal/YouTube playlists to Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome via Soulseek with intelligent matching, metadata enhancement, and automated discovery.
-> 📢 **Development Notice**: New features and major updates are currently being developed exclusively for the **Web UI** version. The original **Desktop GUI** version will continue to receive maintenance and bug fixes to ensure stability, but new functionality will only be added to the Web UI going forward. If the Web UI version ever feels 'completed', I'll likely add those missing features to the GUI version.
+> ⚠️ **CRITICAL**: Configure file sharing in slskd before use. Users who only download without sharing get banned by the Soulseek community. Set up shared folders at `http://localhost:5030/shares`.
-> ⚠️ **CRITICAL**: You MUST configure file sharing in slskd before using SoulSync. Users who only download without sharing get banned by the Soulseek community. Set up shared folders in slskd's web interface at `http://localhost:5030/shares` - share your music library or downloads folder.
+> 📢 **Development Focus**: New features are developed for the **Web UI** version. The Desktop GUI receives maintenance and bug fixes only.

## ⚡ Quick Setup
### Prerequisites
-- **slskd**: Download from [GitHub](https://github.com/slskd/slskd/releases), run on port 5030
-- **Spotify API**: Get Client ID/Secret (see setup below)
-- **Tidal API**: Get Client ID/Secret (see setup below)
-- **Media Server**: Plex, Jellyfin, or Navidrome (optional but recommended)
-
-## 🔑 API Setup Guide
-
-### Spotify API Setup
-1. Go to [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard)
-2. Click **"Create App"**
-3. Fill out the form:
- - **App Name**: `SoulSync` (or whatever you want)
- - **App Description**: `Music library sync`
- - **Website**: `http://localhost` (or leave blank)
- - **Redirect URI**: `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback`
-4. Click **"Save"**
-5. Click **"Settings"** on your new app
-6. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
-
-### Tidal API Setup

- - **Scopes**: Select `user.read` and `playlists.read`
-4. Click **"Save"**
-5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
-
-### Plex Token Setup
-**Easy Method:**
-1. Open Plex in your browser and sign in
-2. Go to any movie/show page
-3. Click **"Get Info"** or three dots menu → **"View XML"**
-4. In the URL bar, copy everything after `X-Plex-Token=`
- - Example: `http://192.168.1.100:32400/library/metadata/123?X-Plex-Token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE`
-5. Your Plex server URL is typically `http://YOUR_IP:32400`
-
-**Alternative Method:**
-1. Go to [plex.tv/claim](https://plex.tv/claim) while logged in
-2. Your 4-minute claim token appears - this isn't what you need
-3. Instead, right-click → Inspect → Network tab → Reload page
-4. Look for requests with `X-Plex-Token` header and copy that value
-
-### Navidrome Setup
-**Easy Method:**
-1. Open your Navidrome web interface and sign in
-2. Go to **Settings** → **Users**
-3. Click on your user account
-4. Under **Token**, click **"Generate API Token"**
-5. Copy the generated token
-6. Your Navidrome server URL is typically `http://YOUR_IP:4533`
-
-**Using Username/Password:**
-- You can also use your regular username and password instead of a token
-- SoulSync supports both authentication methods for Navidrome
-
-### Jellyfin Setup
-1. Open your Jellyfin web interface and sign in
-2. Go to **Settings** → **API Keys**
-3. Click **"+"** to create a new API key
-4. Give it a name like "SoulSync"
-5. Copy the generated API key
-6. Your Jellyfin server URL is typically `http://YOUR_IP:8096`
-7. **New**: After connecting, select which music library to use from the dropdown (if you have multiple)
-
-### Final Steps
-1. Set up slskd with downloads folder and API key
-2. Launch SoulSync, go to Settings, enter all your API credentials
-3. Configure your download and transfer folder paths
-4. **Important**: Share music in slskd to avoid bans
-
-### Docker Notes
-- **Config persistence**: Config now properly mounted at `./config:/app/config` - settings persist between restarts
-- **Database persistence**: Uses named volume for database (separate from GUI/WebUI versions)
-- **Multi-library support**: Plex and Jellyfin can select which music library to use via dropdown in settings
-- **Drive mounting**: Mount drives containing your download/transfer folders:
- ```yaml
- volumes:
- - ./config:/app/config # Config persistence
- - ./logs:/app/logs # Log files
- - /mnt/c:/host/mnt/c:rw # For C: drive paths
- - /mnt/d:/host/mnt/d:rw # For D: drive paths
- - /mnt/h:/host/mnt/h:rw # Add drives as needed
- ```
-- **Path format**: Use `/host/mnt/X/path` in settings where X is your drive letter
-- **Troubleshooting**: If drive mounts fail, try restarting Docker Desktop and ensure drives are shared in Docker Desktop settings
-
-### Docker OAuth Fix (Remote Access)
-If accessing SoulSync from a different machine than where it's running:
-
-1. Set your Spotify callback URL to `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback`
-2. Open SoulSync settings and click authenticate
-3. Complete Spotify authorization - you'll be redirected to `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback?code=SOME_CODE_HERE`
-4. If the page fails to load, edit the URL to use your actual SoulSync IP:
- - Change: `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback?code=SOME_CODE_HERE`
- - To: `http://192.168.1.5:8888/callback?code=SOME_CODE_HERE`
-5. Press Enter and authentication should complete
-
-**Note**: Spotify only allows `127.0.0.1` as a local redirect URI, hence this workaround. You may need to repeat this process after rebuilding containers.

-
-Personalized music discovery powered by your watchlist. Add artists you like, and SoulSync automatically builds a database of similar artists using [music-map.com](https://music-map.com) to curate fresh playlists.
-
-**Three Smart Playlists:**
-- **Release Radar**: New releases (past 7 days) from watchlist, similar artists, and your library
-- **Discovery Weekly**: Broader selection of recent releases you might have missed
-- **Featured Artists**: Hero slideshow of recommended similar artists with one-click watchlist/discography access
-
-**How it works:** Watchlist → Similar Artists DB → New Releases → Personalized Playlists
-
-Unlike generic algorithms, recommendations are based only on artists you explicitly watch, using actual music relationships instead of popularity trends.
-
-## 📁 File Flow
-
-1. **Search**: Query Soulseek via slskd API
-2. **Download**: Files saved to configured download folder
-3. **Process**: Auto-organize to transfer folder with metadata enhancement
-4. **Lyrics**: Automatic LRC file generation using LRClib.net API
-5. **Server Scan**: Triggers library scan on your media server (60s delay)
-6. **Database Sync**: Updates SoulSync database with new tracks
-7. **Structure**: `Transfer/Artist/Artist - Album/01 - Track.flac` + `01 - Track.lrc`
-8. **Import**: Media server picks up organized files with lyrics

+## 🐳 Docker Notes
+
+**Path Configuration**
+```yaml
+volumes:
+ - ./config:/app/config # Settings persist
+ - ./logs:/app/logs # Log files
+ - /mnt/c:/host/mnt/c:rw # Mount Windows drives
+ - /mnt/d:/host/mnt/d:rw
```
-## ⚠️ Important Notes
+Use `/host/mnt/X/path` in settings where X is your drive letter.
+
+**OAuth from Remote Devices**
+When accessing from a different machine, Spotify redirects may fail:
+1. Complete OAuth flow - get redirected to `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback?code=...`
+2. Edit URL to use your server IP: `http://192.168.1.5:8888/callback?code=...`
+3. Press Enter to complete authentication
+
+See [DOCKER-OAUTH-FIX.md](DOCKER-OAUTH-FIX.md) for details.
+
+## 📊 Workflow
+
+1. **Sync**: Select Spotify/Tidal/YouTube playlist
+2. **Match**: SoulSync compares against your library
+3. **Download**: Missing tracks queued from Soulseek
+4. **Process**: Files enhanced with metadata, lyrics, and album art
+5. **Organize**: Moved to transfer folder with template-based structure
+6. **Scan**: Media server automatically rescans library
+7. **Update**: SoulSync database syncs with your collection
-- **Must share files in slskd** - downloaders without shares get banned
-- **Docker uses separate database** from GUI/WebUI versions
-- **Transfer path** should point to your media server music library
-- **FLAC preferred** but supports all common formats
-- **OAuth from different devices:** See [DOCKER-OAUTH-FIX.md](DOCKER-OAUTH-FIX.md) if you get "Insecure redirect URI" errors
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
