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?

That's not Lidarr's fault though. Lidarr gets the data from MusicBrainz, and MusicBrainz is very community driven. So if no one adds data to it, they won't have the data automatically.

Also, the music piracy scene is just not as standardised as movie and TV shows. It's hard to automate when every releaser uses different naming format.
