Application
Lidarr

Host platform
Docker

Script
Audio

Script Version
2.48

Describe the bug
I'm using the Lidarr arr-script with dlClientSource="tidal", audioFormat="native" , and audioBitrate="lossless". All is good, but sometimes Lidarr upgrades files which it previously downloaded and that are already lossless.
It does it with several items (albums and singles). I managed to isolate this behavior for a single.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Monitor an album and wait

Expected behavior
Do not upgrade when quality is the same
