On the main screen under Recent Activity My ARC “Added” category now shows only two albums instead of showing all the albums available in the “Added” category in the Roon app. The first image is an ARC screenshot showing “Low Sparks” as the second and last album in the list. Second pick is a Roon app screenshot with multiple (scroll-able) selections. Shouldn’t the ARC and Roon “Added” lists have the same content?
Otherwise I love ARC in my C8 Corvette.
I’m guessing here, but none of those additions are what I (just one man’s opinion) would normally consider “recent.” So I would guess that ARC and Roon have different definitions of what is recent, with Roon’s being a lot more liberal in its interpretation for some reason.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about titles being added too long ago to still show up as “added” also, and realized I don’t know how I got my list of albums in the “Added” category in the first place.
So, I guess my question is how does one get albums in or out the “Added” category in ARC? (Or the roon app for that matter)
There’s no way, they just drop off after x days. In the regular app, my oldest „recently added“ album is 145 days ago, in ARC it’s 81.
Does it really matter? It’s just a way to quickly get back to an album one added recently
“Does it really matter?” Well kinda. I use ARC in my car via Apple CarPlay and the top line of the display is truncated showing only two selections, plus the rest of the “Added” play list albums are unavailable.
I wonder if I delete and reinstall the ARC app in my phone will restore the “Added” selections to ARC.
Wasn’t quite clear as the screenshot showed a phone
If there are recently added albums that don’t show, then this would be a bug, but your screenshot didn’t show this, as far as I can tell. It just didn’t reach as far back in ARC as it does in the regular remote.
I agree that the time span that is considered recent should be consistent between the two apps, but this view is supposed to show recent additions, and 200 days ago is probably not considered recent by many people, I guess.
If you want a list of ALL added albums, doesn’t Albums > By Date Added do what you need? (Not sure if this exists in CarPlay):
I think is was a bug. I uninstalled and reinstalled ARC on my iPhone and still had only the same two albums in the “Added” category. I then from my PC using the Roon app, started looking through Tidal and selected 20 or so albums to add to my library. Now those selections show up in the ARC “Added” category. The ARC “Added” list still doesn’t match the Roon “Added” list, but I can go through and delete and re-add to make any selections I want appear in ARC. Yeah!
