I’ve got an Artist that can’t be removed so there are still definitely bugs to be sorted out. No updates on the bug report and database submission filed a few months ago.

I find adding an album to a custom “Listen later” tag 5x more enjoyable when comes time to listening to these albums – the Albums list view is simply vastly superior to the rudimentary Listen later view.

The extra 3.2 seconds it requires to add a tag rather than clicking on Listen later is well worth it when comes the time to actually enjoy these newly found gems.

I’d otherwise be a fan of Listen later as long as:

  1. It has the same Albums list view: tile based with filters, etc.
  2. We can add an album to Listen later from the Now playing screen — the amount of good music Roon play automatically is impressive. When something is really good I’d love to add the album to Listen later without having to do 7 clicks and back and forths

The Album Page is readily available after pressing Play from the Listen Later list. Two clicks … Now Playing, and then the album entry.

413

Then I misexplained: I meant the Albums listing page. The tile based one. Not the Album page. Will edit my post. Thank you!

I think he means that the album view page based on a tag that means “listen later”, is much preferred to the Listen Later list which is “rudimentary”.

I actually agree with this. Having a Tag means that in the Album oriented Tag view, you can use Focus. The Listen Later list only offers “Filter” to do any sorting.

415

Thanks for the clarification.

416

Listen later can include artists and tracks as well, so it isn’t strictly an album view.

417

It’s good enough for me. Works well. Quick to add. I likes

418

True. And that’s cool. But still, I would rather have a grid with square tiles for albums/songs and circle tiles for artists.

419

Too bad you can’t mark anything that’s currently playing to “Listen later”. From there you can only add it to your collection.

Roon plays about 16 hours a day here. In all practicality, “autoplay” is our main source of new albums discovery.

421

Just click on the song now playing then on the three dots. You can then select “add to listen later”. :+1:

422

Thank you! Didn’t notice

This is a useful feature. One I would definitely use if I was still a Roon subscriber. I actually have a “check out later” playlist in Apple Music. As soon as Roon supports Atmos from one of the streaming services, I’ll be back! :folded_hands:

My ghost artist just re-appeared in my Listen Later Queue. It happened after I added an album for another artist to my library that had a Listen Later from Qobuz entry.

Please re-open this ticket:

Hey @DrTone,

I am sorry the issue has resurfaced almost out of the blue. I’ve reopened your support thread so our team can get back to you on it :folded_hands:

428

Providing some non-bug related feedback: It would be great to have a “shuffle all” option in Listen Later (or an auto-generated “Listen Later” playlist from the albums that are in there).

429

You can Select All in Listen Later, add to queue, then shuffle the queue. It would be neater if LL just had its own Shuffle All play action, but the result is the same (provided that you clear the existing queue before doing this)

True, but like you said, it’s a bit wonky and unintuitive. Also, it doesn’t work in ARC.
