Recommendation Modes

May 31, 2026 · View on GitHub

Recommendation modes describe how Brainarr balances artist versus album sampling. The canonical explanations and UI screenshots now live in the wiki’s Advanced Settings ▸ Recommendation Modes section.

Key pointers:

  • The enum values (SpecificAlbums, ArtistsOnly, Artists, Mixed) and defaults are documented in Brainarr.Plugin/Configuration/Enums.cs.
  • Behavioural differences (discography imports, token budgets, sampling shape) are covered in the wiki alongside other advanced tuning knobs.
  • Release notes summarise changes when new modes or defaults ship (see CHANGELOG.md).

If you extend recommendation behaviour, update the wiki page and CHANGELOG.md first. Then, if a deep-dive doc is still required, link it here rather than duplicating the tables or step-by-step examples.
