When Explo adds albums on Lidarr, it adds the artist onto the Lidarr page, but doesn't actually monitor the artist, and hence doesn't monitor the monitor. Unsure how this plays out with Lidarr when download clients are added, but for those using Soularr it becomes quite a problem when it does not monitor.
