I use bookmarks for a wide variety of track/composer/album/random stuff collections.
It would be great to have folders or some other non-structured organization method to (for example) separate track book marks from album bookmarks, or separate them by genres or random tags iāve created to group objects.
Iād like to have this feature too. Over time, the number of my bookmarks has grown to a level that there needs to be some type of organization - a folder structure would be great. I currently use bookmarks to build lists of my favorite music for specific artists, genres, and composers.
Bumping this as well ⦠would like to be able to organize my bookmarks by folder, similar to using folders in web browsers ⦠quickly access large groups of albums subdivided - it would help navigate my large and steadily expanding library of 13000 plus albums ⦠John
What you want is some hierarchical way to organize playlists and bookmarks so they are more manageable than a flat list.
This is a no brainer and I am surprised this does not already exists. But I am also surprised that smart playlists like what iTunes offered are not already present.
I am not a playlist person anymore. I used to be when I used iTunes. When I switched to Roon and really got back into listening to music on a quality 2 channel system, I became someone who listens to full albums instead of single tracks or playlists.
Listening to full albums fundamentally changed how I looked at music. I stopped being a person that listened to hit songs and became a person that appreciated the art that went into making albums. This opened me up to many more artists than I would have listened to when I listened to popular songs.
So, I really donāt care about playlistsā¦but I know many people doā¦and it shouldnāt be that hard to have great tools to build playlists.
Maybe you guys can put together a tutorial on how to do this āfast and easy to chop up multiple waysā method you of which you speak to create smart playlists. Because it hard enough that many donāt bother even trying.
BTW, if bookmark groups should get considered for implementation it would be nice if this request --> Bookmarks: save (customized) positions globally (or per profile) would be taken into account at the same time. It feels clumsy enough to sort bookmarks, having to do it on every remote anew isnāt too much fun.
Hello. I would also like to be offered some manner in which to folder bookmarks. I use an ever-growing set of randomized bookmarks for listening to specific types of music. Even allowing a smaller font for the bookmarks would be a reasonable step that would minimize endless scrolling.
This has been asked for before, but Iāll happily +1 it again. I have quite a few bookmarks and would really like to be able to organise them in some way.
I use tags, and since you can add tags to tags, I effectively am able to have folder-ed bookmarks.
For example, I have a tag called āTop Classicalā bookmarked; that tag contains tags for Top Composers, Top Conductors, Top Ensembles, Top Pianists, etc. In this example, everything is grouped/browsed by Artist (except composer).
In another example, I have a āRock/Pop Favoritesā tag with about 25 of my favorite artists. Under that I have, for example, a āBeatlesā tag which contains tags for the group and individual membersā artist pages, stereo albums, mono albums, US albums, and special/anniversary releases.
In this arrangement, I have a relatively small number of ātop levelā tags which lead, with another click or two, deep into those parts of my library which I go to frequently. My Roon experience is split about 50/50 between browsing this way and spending time on the Overview page for hearing recent additions and recommended (new) music.
Iāve found tags to be one of the most versatile tools in Roon, even better than Focus (although you can use Focus to narrow tags once youāve established a good infrastructure).
@Dajokr - How do you add tags to tags? I have a āclassicalā tag for all of my classical albums. I then have a series of tags representing subfolders, for genres like 20th century, Romantic, Baroque, and then I have a third level folder splitting each of these into composers. But the only way I have been able to do this is to create a tag for āclassicalā then a tag for each genre then a tag for each composer which yields over 100 tags, which is impossible to navigate. How can I use your tags within tags?
+1 for folders for bookmarks, or possibly even better: the ability to somehow TAG a bookmarked Focus view?
The limitation with TAGs is you canāt save any āsmartā/dynamic aspects of a filter for quickly shuffling a set of tracks. For example, if I regularly like to listen to Blues music released after 2001, but not hear any tracks Iāve played in the last 3 months, the only way to do this currently is to create a āfocusā and bookmark it. Once youāve set up a few of these, they quickly become unmanageable. Its the equivalent of storing bookmarks in a web browser. If you canāt sort them by folders, they quickly become unmanageable.
If you could apply a TAG to a focused view, you could then do something clever like @Dajokr described, which would be a powerful way of clicking through ātagsā to get to a pre-configured focus and thus get a dynamic view of tracks to shuffle. That would be awesome!
