Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

Josh Turner released both an album and single titled "Everything Is Fine" in 2007. I have the album. Lidarr is crashing on trying to import the single.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to override the destination path to allow the import to happen.

Steps To Reproduce

Add Josh Turner.
Add both the album and single for "Everything Is Fine" (2007).
Import the album first.
Try to import the single second.

Note: This only fails if both files are of the same name (e.g. .flac).

Environment

- OS: N/A - Docker
- Lidarr: Lidarr 2.5.0.4277
- Docker Install: Yes
- Using Reverse Proxy: No

Hello,

For this cases we can only recommend adding Disambiguation to your naming format folder, since this is one of it's main purposes.

What's I'm using: {Artist CleanName}{ (Artist Disambiguation)}
