There’s a Focus option for release years.
This is not on the Focus from the Artist page:
Maybe a bug that needs fixing?
You could do it from the full album list and then filter by artist. so it does work from there.
I’m not home right now to try but I’ve used it many times. There seems to be more empty columns in your screenshots than I’m used to. Why are there only 12 local albums showing under Source and nothing else?
Because that is all the albums by “The Alan Parsons Project” in my local library on the “The Alan Parsons Project” Artists page.
The screenshots are what I get if I do a global search (of my local library) for Alan, then select the top results which is The Alan Parsons Project. Then scroll to main albums and hit focus.
I do see more columns (about 25) from the full “albums” list on the “My Albums” page:
I see. I’d have to check later at home but IIRC there should be 4 panels of options. Don’t know why some seem to be left out
Yes.

I’m unable to replicate what you describe, @Neil_Small. I tested by banning Suzanne Vega’s Luka in Roon. I waited a minute, then checked ARC and ensured I was looking at the same version of the album (24/96 Qobuz) that I used when banning the track. It had successfully been relayed to ARC.
Roon understands that I’m banning the track, not just the Hi-Res version, and acts accordingly. However, it doesn’t blanket apply the ban icon to every instance of the song throughout Roon—it’s just on the one I banned.

Too bad, happened to me the first time I checked the option, thought it might help you out as well.
Hi @jamie, in your blog post you wrote: “You’ll never hear it on Roon Radio, Artist Radio, or in any of your Daily Mixes ever again.” In my Daily Mixes for Today are Artists that I banned yesterday. Is that a bug or does it take a while for the banning to take effect?

It can take a few hours for your bans to fully work their way through all our discovery services. If you banned some stuff yesterday, it’s possible that they may not have completely been synced to your taste profile.
If that continues, however, it’s probably best to report it so the team can take a closer look. You can find more details on how Banning works in our FAQ ,

Ah, now I get it. I did mean the My Albums view and the Focus from there. Never tried it from Main Albums. Surprised there there is no years option there, but probably because in most cases there is at most 1 album per year.

I’ll just post this one more time in a desperate hope that Roon dev people can at least consider this. You can extend the work you have already done, without taking anything away from anyone, by doing one simple thing:
Provide a toggle that shows everything, even if banned, by default, but allow users to elect to NOT show banned objects if they so choose. You could put it in the “general” tab under “browsing preferences”, just like “show hidden albums”… “show banned tracks and albums”
If you do this, users can choose to blow away albums from an artist discography that are nothing but pollution thanks to terrible data quality from your upstream meta data providers.
It’s so simple. Please think about this. It costs nothing. You’ve already done the work. It changes nothing for users that don’t like the idea or don’t care one way or the other.
The default is no impact to anyone. The toggle is when I look at the Cream discography, all I see is albums by a band comprised of Clapton, Bruce, and Baker. Because I’ve banned all the other albums by pseudo cream artists. Surely as a lifetime subscriber that’s not too much to ask?
