I actually like the release titles. It’s encoded in the name that way, there’s a somewhat good standard for it, and it’s one file. I rarely need more info than what’s in the release title. And I would dislike having to carry a separate json with me.

A separate file or if the first few bytes of a file contained the metadata.

Sorry, best we can do is some unrelated ASCII art.

and following proper naming conventions too. why can’t releasers decided to choose one single naming convention together so it makes our job better to automate things?

Readarr honestly feels like the most barebones of all the arrs. I tried it for a bit and decided to just use Calibre to manage my library.

Sure, I need to manually grab stuff but it more than makes up for that with the other features it has.
