I have banned tracks I don't want to hear but they are playing

I have banned tracks I don’t want to hear but they still play
I go to tracks and set a focus for tracks added in last week, then select shuffle.

I am confused as to what banned does?

What is the effect in Roon of banning an album?

Ban the album but not the individual tracks – what effect does that have on playback, search, radio, etc.? So far, all I see is a Banned icon overlay on the album in album view. The tracks in track view and the album in album view show up in Focus searches, and the album shows up in album view. I’ll probably just end up hiding the album, but it would be good to know what banning an album does. Thanks, Jeff

If you perform an action that selects a banned track, like you have done, it will play.

So how do you set a track to not play? Tidal has a block action and it will never play that track, do I really have to go through the rigmarole of editing and deleting?

Within the focus, you can add “Banned” as a criteria (under the Inspector button).

Then, once the focus has been set, tap the “+” symbol next to “Banned” to omit banned tracks.

If this will be a frequent focus, I’d recommend saving it as a bookmark, so it becomes a single click focus.

Good luck!

I think it only works when you had added the Tidal album to your library
