Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Would it be possible for Lidarr to write the secondary type metadata to the file? Any time I download a Live album the only release type that gets written is Album. If I load the album in Picard it will automatically write Album; Live to the file.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see Lidarr write the secondary type to the files metadata when there is a secondary type listed in the metadata source.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I currently load any live album I add to Lidarr into Picard and allow it to write the secondary type metadata.

Anything else?
