Description

Request for "Download All" and Artist-Level Queueing. Currently, the workflow requires manual processing of one album at a time. I am requesting the following UI/UX additions:

    Batch Queue Buttons: Add a "Queue" button next to every release on an Artist page to allow users to build a custom session list before starting the download.

    "Download All" Functionality: A global button on Artist pages to fetch the entire discography.

    Release Type Filtering: A dropdown or toggle for the "Download All" feature to filter by release type (e.g., "All Albums," "Albums + EPs," or "Full Discography") to avoid unnecessary singles/remixes.

Use Case

This is specifically for large-scale library amassing. When building out complete discographies, the one-by-one manual fetch creates an enormous time sink. Implementing a "Download All Albums" button allows the software to handle the heavy lifting unattended, which is essential for users amassing thousands of high-fidelity files.

Additional Context

Adding these buttons to the Artist view directly addresses the current navigation limitations. Providing a filter (like "Albums Only") ensures users can amass the core discography without cluttering their local storage with repetitive single edits or redundant releases.

Came here to submit the same request. This is the only feature I'd really love to see. Everything else is perfect - for my purposes at least.

I'll never add parallel batch downloads; it would just flood the third-party servers.
