I use Lidarr (with Soulseek, via the Tubifarry plugin) to automatically download music for me and even though I've put lp and vinyl into the "must not contain" field on my release profile, I still notice the occasional vinyl rip in my library. God I hate vinyl rips. Is there anything more I can do to avoid them?

I like vinyl rips, for older music where vinyl is the best source if tape is not available. and I do like to have original versions alongside modern remasters where possible.

for new music it just seems like extra steps and it seems like there are more and more low quality rippers that have no idea what they are doing, have dirty records, and low quality gear.
