Release group from musicbrainz is the equivalent of an album in Lidarr, while release group in Lidarr and other arrs is the group who publishes a release.

Music is most of the time is ripped by users, so rls groups aren't the norm. But they are in radarr/sonarr.

Release Group is not required and will never prevent imports as well....a common misconception
