Current Situation

When running the downloader, all albums from favorite artists are downloaded automatically. This includes unwanted releases such as karaoke, instrumental, deluxe, or duplicate versions.

Suggestion / Feature Request

Problem:
Users who prefer to archive all albums from their favorite artists must manually delete unwanted albums after each sync. This is repetitive and error-prone, especially as libraries grow.

Proposed Enhancement:
Add an Exclusion List feature to allow users to skip specific albums or patterns during automatic downloads.

A local file (e.g., exclusions.json) where users can list albums or patterns to skip.
Example (YAML or JSON):

exclusions:
  - Karaoke
  - Instrumental
  - "Deluxe Edition"
  - Remix
  - https://tidal.com/album/album-id

What operating system do you use?

None

Version OS

Any

Thanks for bringing up this topic and your suggestions. This is not a trivial topic, but your suggestions are a good baseline to start thinking about it. If you like, you can get me a PR for this.

Until this is implemented you can use regex in the filter row of the GUI to exclude specific results.
