Q&A:

Q: How is music found? (process)

  1. The script will pull your monitored albums via the missing/cutoff list from Lidarr and begin processing it.
  2. When processing a missing/cutoff list album, it search both clients (Tidal first, then Deezer) for the album as a explicit release first, then clean release. If an album is not found using the pulled services Artist album list, it will then perform a fuzzy search for explicit releases, then clean releases for the album URL. If all 4 of the searches fail, it will connect to Musicbrainz.org to see if a URL is attached to a release that directly points to the album on the service and will use that to execute the download.
  3. If URL found, download the requested files, if not found, log it in the "/config/extended/logs/notfound" folder
  4. Add replaygain tags if enabled
  5. Tag files with beets if enabled
  6. Notify Lidarr to scan and import the completed download

Q: How are music files named?

The naming is completely controlled by your Lidarr configuration upon successful import

Q: It cannot find albums that I know should be available

Musicbrainz (https://musicbrainz.org) is a community managed database, while not perfect, it empowers users to be able to add/update/enhance it. Adding the music album (with url) to the relevant artist on Musicbrainz, will enable the script to automatically download the requested album.

Q: Why should I spend time updating Musicbrainz?

Updating Musicbrainz means you are helping the world! If everyone in the community spent a small amount of time updating the database with the Music. Then everyone in the community would benefit from those updates. IE: User1 updates their favorite artist with new albums and User2 does the same thing for their favorite artist. Now both users can download music for both artists as a result of both putting in a little effort.
