the logic is this:
1. if played, not new
2. if date imported is more than 7 days ago, not new
3. if date imported is same as date roon was installed, not new
4. if none of the above, then new!
The motivation to point out recent imports you haven’t played when browsing.
The reasoning behind each step of logic above is:
1. played things are not new to you
2. things you imported ages ago are not new anymore
3. things you imported on day 1 are not new, they just are.
You seem to be disagreeing with step 2’s reasoning… it’s one viewpoint, one we looked at and chose against. Maybe the 7 days was too short, but “forever” is way too long. I’m open to improvements here, but your idea would annoy the many Roon members that collect more music than they can listen to.
