Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

The metadata in music obtained from plugins is typically poorly organised and poorly tagged.
Due to many users utilising torrents + plugins to obtain music the metadata tagging option is turned off to prevent breaking seeded torrents.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have an option to turn metadata tagging on/off per source. Whether it's torrents, usenet or plugins.
This would enable Lidarr plugin users to automatically correctly tag their music obtained from plugin sources so in turn, they will be sharing correctly tagged and organised music.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative is to manually tag the files.

Anything else?

N/A - on Discord lidarr-plugins channel if you want to discuss it.
