Add “Date Favorited” / “Favorite Added” as a sortable field for tracks

I would love to see Roon add a dedicated “Date Favorited” or “Favorite Added” field for tracks.

Currently, Roon offers a Date Added field, but this only reflects when a track was added to the library. That is useful, but it does not show when I actually marked a track as a favorite.

This distinction matters a lot for the way I use Roon. I often rediscover songs from older albums that have been in my library for a long time. When I favorite one of those tracks today, I would like to be able to see it near the top of a list of recently favorited tracks. However, because the album or track may have been added to my library years ago, sorting by Date Added does not help.

A sortable Date Favorited field would make it possible to:

  • view favorite tracks in the order they were favorited

  • easily revisit recently rediscovered songs

  • create more meaningful bookmarks or playlists based on recent listening discoveries

  • distinguish between “added to library” and “marked as favorite”

Ideally, this field would be available in track lists, focus/filter options and smart playlists, just like other metadata fields.

For users who regularly explore older parts of their library, this would be a very useful way to track personal music discovery over time.

Seems like you can do this with a Tag.

Could you explain in a bit more detail how a tag would solve this?

I don’t see where I can sort by the date a tag was added to a track. Is there a way to do that?

I think you can do it with a playlist. “Recently added to Favourites”. I am pretty sure when you add songs to a playlist it keeps it in the order you add the songs.

Ah, yes! Thank you for this hint :slight_smile: I think that’s an okayish workaround to achieve my main goal for now. Although not everything is possible and this solution requires maintaining an additional list.

I think a “favorite date” as a sort option is still a more clean and straight forward solution, so I will leave this feature suggestion open.
