Most played sorted - Albums

I don’t see it in album view either. I am looking at the home page top albums sorted by last year. This view shows time played. My top album is missing from that list—even though I know it should be there because the track play count shows I have played this 34 minute album at least four times all the way through and some tracks many more times that. But the album is not on that list… but it absolutely should be.

None of mine show at all as it’s all time played, all of which is compilations I’ve bought and played once. It’s a bollocks system.

Sort of a sidebar here but “Albums” is a terrible term semantically.

I ended up setting on release as the term internally. It does lead to a fun thing where you have release:primary and release:release (because editions and masters, and pressings, etc are their own ‘unique’ attributes that can correspond to multiple entities) -_-

I hear ya. I have a 33-disc Haydn symphonies box set that played silently without me knowing about it years ago. Now it is at the top of every list forever.

Yeh it’s a really outdated idea in Roon. I only buy albums these days but do have some older stuff on eps and had some when I bought a full discography off Bandcamp for an artist but they all show up under albums. It’s misnomer that they need to rectify. But will no doubt have resistance.

Yeah we also need a reset. Something LMS has as well. Like @Suedkiezs does, may have to play some silently to get them were they should be in the list. I’ve got one I used to test gapless and it’s the same top album of all time.

For the record, I’ve had numerous conversations with people and this was the best we came up with. I still think a release:release is an insane syntactical nightmare but it is what it is, and it’s at least somewhat more accurate than calling the parent entity an “album”

Also Roon’s data providers offer the whole “ep,single,compilation” etc so it’s not like that information is hard to come by (and honestly where it doesn’t exist, some of it is pretty easy to infer)
