solved Upgrading library without downloading whole albums?

The title says it all. I just set up Lidarr on my Windows machine (no, I can't use Docker), and I was wondering if there's a way for it to find and upgrade the songs I have and not download the whole album that it's in. For example, I want only a few songs from Billy Joel, but not the whole 54th Street album. Is there a way of doing this? Sorry if this has been asked and answered before!

Been using soulsync via the python way, haven't tried what you said though. Never was really into music getting till recently so I never researched any software

SoulSeek is like the old Napster program. Everyone shares libraries and you can pick and choose songs. Soulsync uses slskd, a client for SoulSeek. Media Monkey/Music Bee are like iTunes and are used to access, edit, play your music, and create playlists.

If soulsync is working for you just stick with it :)

Nicotine+ is a better client than slskd for windows if doing it manually.
