Description Of Issue
It appears that the playlist link for tracks on the “Album now playing” page has been lost with build 778 (both on desktop and iPad platforms. This was an identified issue in 1.8 that had been resolved, but has recurred again with the 778 build.
Once again it’s not possible to see an indication of tracks that are already present in one or more playlists
EDIT: It appears that this is not consistent. Some albums/album tracks display playlist links but others do not.
Example 1: The track “Nice & Easy” on Alvin Lee’s “Still on the road to Freedom” is in at least one of my playlists, but no playlist links are displayed on the “Album playing” page.
Example 2: The track “High spending woman” on Doug Macleod’s album “A little sin” is in the same playlist as “Nice and easy”, and this time the playlist link is displayed on the Album playing page.
I have come across many other anomalies - the playlist link display appears to be very much haphazard.
Of the tracks on this page, at least 3 of them have links from the appropriate album page indicating they are on this playlist, but at least 5 have no links whatsoever on the appropriate album page.
Just realized I may have misinterpreted your question.
The screenshots I have included were from a playlist I created in Roon. However, although all of them are from albums that are in my integrated Roon music library, I see that all of these happen to be Tidal albums rather than albums in my local NAS.
Hmm. Are these Tidal albums you have IN your library? And were they IN your library when you added the track to the playlist?
Remember, if you add a Tidal track to a playlist, even if you add that album to your library later, the playlist track will still point to the non-library Tidal content.
Yes - they are all Tidal albums that I have in my library. It was just a coincidence that the section of the playlist I used to illustrate the problem happened to be mostly Tidal tracks /albums rather than tracks/albums from my local library (I have around 2,500 albums in my NAS).
I cannot be absolutely certain that all of the albums were in my library when I added tracks from them to my playlist but I think they were, or at least most of them would have been.
In a few days from now I’ll investigate some playlist tracks that were definitely generated from albums in my NAS. However, I have just had a disk failure in my NAS, and so it will be 2 or 3 days before I get a replacement drive & get my NAS up and running again.
A bit of a pain, but not too serious. I do keep up-to-date backups of course and so it’s just a small inconvenience.
I think it’s amazing just how resilient and reliable hard drives have been over the years. This is only the second time I recall having a serious hard drive issue in the 35+ years I have owned PCs or NAS devices. The odd bad sector in the early days aside of course, when reliability wasn’t quite as tight as it is nowadays.
I have 2 NAS devices (one for my music collection and one for photos and home videos) each with two WD Red drives, and it’s the second issue I have since I have incorporated them in my network quite a few years ago now. The first was a motherboard failure a couple of years ago, and now this hard drive (WD Red) failure.
I reckon that’s not too bad a record over my years of computer usage.
