- acquisition_settings.upgrade_until (default High quality lossy, Lidarr's
cutoff, note #5527; "" is off), an "Upgrade until" row under Searching.
- The wanted worker judges held albums hourly: tier per format from size per
second (the scanner records no bitrate), the album's worst. Below the
cutoff it is wanted for quality; a video rip among its tracks always.
- The schedule searches upgrades weekly, after open wants; a release no
better than the copy held is refused ("not_better").
- The import matches each file to the track it would replace (recording,
then disc/track) and replaces it when it is a rip or the file is a better
tier: over the same path in one rename, or filed beside it and the old
track folded in (library.ReplaceTrack: file first, then foldTrackInto).
Nothing better: the release is set aside.
- Collection › Upgrades (Lidarr's Cutoff Unmet); Suspect sources says when a
clean copy was looked for instead of Lidarr's search.

A finished download is checked against MusicBrainz before anything is
filed: the files are paired with an edition's tracks by position or path,
and AcoustID, tag ids, lengths and titles say whether it is the album.
What is the album is copied into the library as
Artist/Album (Year)/Artist - Album - NN - Title, tagged with Picard's
MusicBrainz ids, and scanned; the download keeps seeding. What is not is
refused: set aside, removed from the client, and the album searched for
again. A download the check cannot settle waits for a person, who imports
it anyway or refuses it. Tracks the library already holds are skipped.
The wanted list leaves Admin for a top-level Wanted view, admin-only and
web-only, with tabs for Wanted, Activity (downloads and their imports,
the ones needing a person first), Missing files, Held, Following (with the
release-type profiles, moved off Integrations) and Blocked. The search
settings gain "File new music into" when the library has several folders.
The search pass logs why each failed search failed.
