Convert exsitng library

Hello,

How to use plugins to convert whole existing library (flac or other) in mp3 ?
a global refresh ?

A global library refresh with format conversion in Lidarr can be done via a global import (starting fresh). Lidarr automatically converts files during the initial import of an album, such as when content is added through a download client. However, manual re-imports (e.g., deleting and re-adding an album) do not trigger conversion—this only works for first-time imports or downloads.

Format Advice: While MP3 is widely used due to its legacy compatibility, Opus is strongly recommended for modern setups, offering better quality at significantly smaller file sizes.

Backup First: Always ensure your library is fully backed up before proceeding. Even if Lidarr should handle existing imports correctly, a backup adds a safety net.

Community Feedback: A user on the Servarr Discord confirmed this process worked seamlessly for their library, describing it as straightforward. While I haven’t personally tested it, their experience suggests it’s viable. Proceed with caution, double-checking settings like conversion format to align with your goals.
