As much as I like radarr, lidarr has some problems radarr doesn’t.
Some bands nowadays do not release albums and directly release singles on YouTube or Spotify, so the albums organization doesn’t work that well anymore.
On top of that, the content you find in the trackers is very heterogeneous, entire albums as a single track, discographies as zip files, different file formats, single albums… and it seems to confuse lidarr all the time so it cannot figure out what is what.
What do you use for your music collections? How do you organize them?
Well since so far no one has suggested any solutions (and I’m not aware of an alternative to Lidarr that suits my needs) but I also have noticed a similar problem. Many albums download fine, but there’s times where the whole artist downloads each 01 01 01 track and it gets complicated.
I believe outside of manually doing it we’d be looking for filebot, but that’s paid, or possibly some sorting tools available through foobar2000 plugins - I’m not sure if it exists here but many others must.

You can download an old version of Filebot from the Github and it’ll still work. Used it about a week ago without issue.
Ohh lovely, I never looked too deeply into it thanks for the heads up!
