If you want to remove albums that you have downloaded to your phone, it is best to go directly to the “Downloaded Albums browser”. There, there are two options in the “3 dots” menu for an album:
Remove from downloads
Remove from library (in red).
The first will remove the downloaded album from your phone’s storage. The second will do that, but if it is an album that you have in your Core’s Watched Folder storage, it will also delete the album from your storage.
Agreed but I think as many people want the option as don’t think it should even be there. So the correct way forward is to have it configurable in the ARC app itself. ‘Allow Core Library Deletions YES/NO’. The red option would be greyed out if you set it as No.
The correct way forward is to have it configurable in the Core. Currently, anyone with access to the Core can cause havoc, intended or by mistake. I do not want a delete files option, and I don’t see why it’s even necessary for mobile. Roon never touches the original files, but it lets anyone delete anything?
Which begs the question: Why are profiles a more or less useless addition to the Roon concept?
If we had Party/Family members/Occasional profiles, they could be used for creating subsets within the library, limit write/delete access etc.
I fully agree with fellow posters, there needs to be something done.
It needs either the implementation of proper user rights (and disabling of removal for single users) or at least the possibility to deactivate the option of removal in general.
While I can see why some users want to have the option for removal of music files within roon (although I would prefer to not have this option at all), I really don’t understand how it found it’s way into ARC, designated for remote use …
