Hello

Many thanks for the good work with this app.
I find it really helpfull to organize and maintain a music library with the best possible audio tracks quality !!

For itunes compatibility reasosn, i have converted all my flac24 files to alac 24 bits to have all my music both on my audiophile music player (volumio on a RPI + dac) and my macbook. I was fed up having duplicates between my alac classicla lossless 16 bits and what i found with flac24bits

Now that my organisational issue is solved with all my 24 bits files integrated to itunes thx to alac24, i m lost with lidarr that does not seem to consider ala24 as a hightest audio quality format than standard lossless file.
Could it be possible to create an alac 24bit profile (like what have been done with flac 24) to solve this situation ?

Many thx !!

Best Regards
Al

Why not customized quality profiles/definition? Like that we can add DSD, DSF, and whatever else we like. Also, maybe a way to strictly exclude some quality profiles like Vinyl Rips? I tried adding quality definitions in sqlite, but it seems the number of definitions is hard coded into the software, as any change swiftly breaks it.

Vinyl rips can be excluded by using release profiles. Improving qualities is something we have thought about but is not high on the list right now. There's a bit more to it than just allowing user to add and name a quality. Lidarr has to know how to parse that quality, how to identify the track is of a certain quality, etc..

I do not understand how a that simple request can be ignored. I finally convert back all my library to flac24 :(

It’s not ignored.

there is only so much time in a day and so many resources to work on items.

if you want it right now then dive in and make a PR to add it

Also it looks like this thread is full of several comments that do not provide benefit to the conversation. Comments such as me too, I want this, why isn’t this done yet, and other non-productive comments may result in threads being locked.

Never having worked on a C# project before, I nonetheless somewhat blindly tried to add an ALAC 24bit quality in #3882. Builds failed, so I’ll try to stumble my way through 😅
