Allow filtering by multiple tags

Feedback Feature Suggestions
1

It has been requested by multiple users that we should be able to easily select multiple tags and have Roon treat them as a Boolean AND command like pretty much every website on earth does.
ie, when I select my custom tags ’2021‘, ‘8*‘ and ‘ambient‘, I should see only ambient albums from 2021 that I scored 8.

Currently Roon shows me all 2021 albums of all genres and scores, plus all 8* albums from all years and all ambient albums regardless of score.

Imagine if on amazon you filtered on ‘Steven King‘, ‘hardback‘ and ‘horror‘ and instead of the 20 to 30 results you were hoping for it showed you over a million results including every single hardback plus every single horror by any author plus every Steven King book…

Please look to implement this simple functionality thanks.

Agreed an upvoted. Other Focus categories provide more control over boolean operators, but not tags which are “outside” of the rest of Focus.

I just found this thread after creating a new one.

Has any progress been made on providing selecting multiple tags with an AND operand rather than the OR?

I have heard nothing. I would love to know when this will finally be implemented.

Hey Roon support, is there any news on this request?

I would love to be able to search all my „2022“ tagged albums and also my „9*“ and „10*“ albums to see my favorites from the past year but as I cannot search tag 1 AND tag 2, this is impossible.

Even if you allowed us to select one tag and filter by another tag that would be a workaround…?

I’m also eagerly waiting for this to be implemented. Currently, organizing music for me is a mess because I can’t filter tags based on AND condition. For example, on a weekend, I would love to hear “Low-fi” , “Drums” “no vocals” tagged songs. Please prioritize this devs!

I now have ARC working and it is the same in there.
I just don’t understand why the underlying code would say to display tag a OR tag b, rather than tag a AND tag b.
If someone selects their “favourites”, “rock” and “american” tags, they want to see their favourite american rock albums, not all favourites, all american albums and all rock albums…

This would be a game changer for usability! Is there any movement on potentially implementing this?

I find hard to understand how this is not implemented in Roon. Seems like a very low-hanging fruit.

If you take a look at Adobe Lightroom’s search features, that’s an excellent solution example. Multiple configurable Boolean operators. Adding “create playlist from results” (I know you can bookmark) would be icing.

It would be a great help, if we could switch generally between AND and OR. I don‘t find any sense in the Standard OR. Most (all?) Questions needs the AND Operator?!

I’m curious if there is any progress on that feature. This would be one of the most useful features for users with big libraries in my opinion. Surprised that it is being ignored for so long and we have no communication from the Roon team on this topic. Or do we? please post a link if it exists.

New to Roon and had just made a new thread about this. When I heard Roon had tagging I thought this feature would be an obvious addition. Currently on the free trial and considering holding off on purchasing until this feature is implemented.

Annual request for this feature please Roon,
I would absolutely love to be able to filter all my favourite albums of the year but as always, selecting “9*” and “2024” tags doesn’t show me my 20 favourite albums of the year, but rather all 200 albums i listened to this year and every album I have ever scored 9 out of 10. SUPER USEFUL…

Likewise, really keen to be able select the way that tags are used to ‘focus’ on music (i.e. show only tracks/albums that have tag1 AND tag2 rather than current default OR behaviour that shows tracks/albums with both tags). Voted!
