So pretty much the title. Every time I add an artist, Lidarr will choose the release with the biggest number of tracks.

I have searched on the wiki but the only suggestion is to set custom formats but that only makes Lidarr to avoid downloading albums with unwanted keywords, it will still select the biggest release at the album settings and therefore, it will not match.

I know I can set the release manually but that is really annoying when you add an artist with many albums and it defeats the purpose of automating the while process.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Should I instead move to headphones or soulsync?

    Can you give an example artist? I can play around with it and see if there’s a way

      Thank you for the reply. Looking at my music I can see that The Beatles The White album has 107 tracks and it’s because it chose the Super Deluxe release with 6 CDs (not joking, that’s the name) and it found it so it got downloaded.
