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?

    If you click the human icon in the activity queue you can see what release it thinks best matches what it grabbed, it could be possible that the release you grabbed isn’t on MB or the tags point to a different release.

    When I add an artist the albums might show the giant multi disk tracklist but as soon as something is downloaded it picks a release that more closely matches what was downloaded. It’s not perfect always though but usually it’s not due to a mismatch in track numbers unless the release I have is not on MB
