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?

    Not really, unless there are specific tracks you want. Most of the time it’s demos and singles, but imo they break the flow of a lot of albums. If there are no extra tracks then the only difference is in the physical packaging afaik (translation of the lyrics into Japanese, extras like postcards ame other collectibles etc.).
