Lidarr isn't really meant for that so you're always going to fighting things I unfortunately
Not sure how to automate the partial album part. You might have an easier time just letting lidarr snatch the full albums and then culling tracks afterwards. You can connect slskd directly in lidarr with a plugin if that helps.
Spotify list import is broken right now, so you have to wait until they get around to fixing it. It's a big hurdle for migrating to lidarr. You can import lists from some other places like listenbrainz and last.fm, so you might be able to accomplish something through those.
Thanks for the reply, I have lots of single songs rather than albums...culling would be even more problematic. I grabbed my Spotify stuff a whilst ago as xls. I have also been using Qbuz obuz for quite a some time and have them in there .

Lidarr is not for you, then. Lidarr has a very particular workflow, and playlists like yours aren't it.
