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?


This is how it evaluates what to grab, with a slight correction on that “preferred word score” is “custom format score”. https://wiki.servarr.com/lidarr/faq#how-are-possible-downloads-compared
So beyond quality, custom formats would be the greatest tool you could use to dictate that you’d want to score deluxe version lower that releases without deluxe in the name.
