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?

A little bit of irony. Vinyl are mixed differently and never fell victim to the "turn it up to 11 for radio era" of mixing because the physical medium can't do what digital can. So while you may not like the pops when they happen in a rip you are actually getting a more balanced mix. Don't believe me, listen to them side by side.
