Workflow
1. Search for an artist
bash scripts/lidarr.sh search "Artist Name"
Returns numbered list with MusicBrainz links.
2. Check if artist exists
bash scripts/lidarr.sh exists <foreignArtistId>
3. Add artist
bash scripts/lidarr.sh add <foreignArtistId>
If artist already exists, this will monitor them instead of failing.
Options:
--discography— add full discography instead of albums only--no-search— don't search immediately
4. List albums for an artist
bash scripts/lidarr.sh list-artist-albums <artistId>
Shows all albums with their IDs and monitored status.
5. Monitor specific albums
bash scripts/lidarr.sh monitor-album <albumId>
Monitor and optionally search for a specific album.
Options:
--no-search— monitor but don't search yet
