+## How to import a JSON Custom Format
+
+In this example i will use the [BR-DISK](Collection-of-Custom-Formats-for-RadarrV3.md#br-disk) Custom Format the one most people don't want to download anyway and if you do then you probably don't use Radarr, Plex being both don't support it.
+
+`Settings` => `Custom Formats`
+
+ ![image-20200926105858168](images/image-20200926105858168.png)
+
+Then Select a empty spot.
+
+ ![image-20200926110018973](images/image-20200926110018973.png)
+
+Followed by the `Import` in the lower left.
+
+ ![image-20200926110122043](images/image-20200926110122043.png)
+
+In the empty `Custom Format JSON` box (1) you just paste the `JSON` what you got from the [Custom Format Collection](https://github.com/TRaSH-/Tutorials-FAQ/blob/master/RadarrV3/Collection-of-Custom-Formats-for-RadarrV3.md) followed by the `Import` button (2).
+
+> What you see in the red box is a example txt that you don't and can't remove!
+
+ ![image-20200926110751639](images/image-20200926110751639.png)
+
+After selecting the `Import` button you will get a screen that has all the Custom Formats variables filled in correctly,
+all you need to do now is click on the `Save` button and you're done.

+
+## How to make use of the Custom Formats in your profiles
+
+Now we need to make use of the Custom Formats we've added.
+
+`Settings` => `Profiles`
+
+ ![image-20200926113435255](images/image-20200926113435255.png)
+
+Then select the profile that you use/prefer.
+
+The Custom Formats in the profiles needs editing on 2 spots.
+
+First we're going to set the scores for the Custom Formats and for this we scroll all the way down.
+
+And then we're going to set a score of `-1000` to the `BR-DISK` to make sure it will be ignored for ever and never going to go over the `Minimum Custom Format Score`.
+
+ ![image-20200926114938367](images/image-20200926114938367.png)
+
+After this we scroll all the way back up
+
+ ![image-20200926115916590](images/image-20200926115916590.png)
+
+>1. Profile name
+>2. If you want that Radarr will upgrade till the quality set in (3.)
+>3. Upgrade till the selected Quality
+>4. The `Minimum Custom Format Score` allowed to download
+>5. Keep upgrading Custom Format till this score is reached
+>6. Your preferred language profile for your Releases
+
+Being we set `BR-DISK` to `-1000` the chance that it will reach the `Minimum Custom Format Score` set in (4.) is really small.
+
+**NOTE:**
+
+> For Custom Formats you really don't want set it to something really low like `-1000` and not something like `-10` being when you add a Custom Format what you prefer and you set it to something like `+10` it could happen that the `BR-DISK` will be downloaded (-10)+(+10)=0 and your `Minimum Custom Format Scrore` is set at `0`.
+

+
+## Tips how to setup the scores
+
+Personally I would only add the Custom Formats you really are interested in especially in the beginning.
+
+So now the question what's the best score setup ?
+
+There isn't a best scores setup being that everyone has its own personal preference what they prefer Audio or Video or perhaps both.
+
+My suggestion is to create tiers of scores based on what things matter to you.
+
+Lets say you prefer HD audio (with object metadata)
+
+`Basic Dolby Digital < AAC < Basic DTS < DTS-ES < Dolby Digital Plus < DTS-HD HRA < PCM = FLAC < TrueHD (not ATMOS) < DTS-HD MA < DD+ ATMOS (lossy) = ATMOS (indeterminate) < DTS X < TrueHD ATMOS`
+
+In this example above I have lossy Atmos over lossless DTS because the object metadata matters more to me over lossy vs lossless
+
+- Separate all your audio codecs by 100
+- Separate special editions/hybrid/4k remaster, etc by 10
+- Separate channel count by 5
+
+keep in mind some scores could add up so keep that in mind (depending which Custom Formats you've added and use).
+
+So it's important to keep this in mind when setting up your scores.
