Constantly having Classical albums suggested for me

I have around 2050 albums in my library. Only 10 albums are classical albums out of the 2050 in total but I am constantly being recommended classical albums every single week.

For reference I have 900 electronic, 550 pop/rock and the remaining vary between multiple genres.

Is there any way to influence the ‘new releases for you’ to actually reflect what I listen to?

Same here. I have 200ish (this is a guess) classical albums out of 9,000 albums, and new releases is always flooded with uninteresting classical releases.

They are all relevant to composers I have in my library, sure, but damn does it need to compensate for the sheer volume of classical releases using music from those composers (combined with them all just being new recordings of things you already have). A classical on/off switch for this section would be good in my opinion.

I think you can filter new releases by genre, and exclude Classical.

But yes, to the main point here, there are SO MANY Classical releases that it’s overwhelming. I think, as with many other nagging complaints about Roon, there are just some fundamental issues with Valence/metadata processing, especially a) the way Roon interprets information about our listening habits, and, b) acts upon those interpretations.

if y’all want moar classical, expertly curated by the community, there are excellent recommendations in this thread:

He wants fewer .

Obviously some BOT is trying to expand your musical tastes😈

In “New releases for you” on the home page, you can click on the More button and then select the genres you want to see. My suggestion to Roon is that the selection should be saved and become sticky, and also be applied to the “New releases for you” on the home page. I’m always having to reselect what I want to see.

I appreciate that it can be filtered but that just leaves few relevant releases remaining. Whereas if it knows in advance that I don’t want any new classical releases then it can maybe replace those 50%+ of recommendations with more relevant ones.

Literally every single ‘new album for you’ is a classical album now. What the hell is going on?

Every time a new classical album gets suggested I ban the album straight away but it makes no difference.

Is there any way to dissuade Roon from suggesting classical?

RAP it across the knuckles :rofl: :rofl: :smiling_imp:
