When I mark as “liked” a given composition in a given (classical: that’s what I mostly listen to and find this behaviour very annoying) album by a given artist/interpreter doesn’t mean I want marked as “liked” the same composition in every album by every artist: I’m only liking that given version by that given interpreter in that given album!
Roon instead… marks it in other albums too
(just added a new album and, despite play count being “0”, some compositions show as already “liked”)
I don’t think I’m seeing this. If I an album, then that recording is the one that is selected, and only that one. If I a composition (in the Composition browser), then indeed all recordings seem to get the heart…
Indeed, isn’t this just the distinction between liking an album and liking a composition. If you choose to like the latter, then any use of that composition will go with it.
you mean the whole album? why should I do that: just to circumvent Roon’s wrong behaviour?
does it really make any sense, to you, that if you like a given “cover” then you like all the existing ones? or having to like a whole album just for one track*?
I think that Paolo has a point. In Roon, you can ‘heart’ a track or an entire album, and in the composition browser you can ‘heart’ a given composition. But the thing is that in classical music you listen to compositions as interpreted by different artists, and the compositions in an album track listing should be understood as specific interpretations, and one should be able to ‘heart’ a given interpretation. That’s distinctions Roon doesn’t seem to make.
I’m in the woods with an old cell phone and I am not able to correct my typing errores. Just wanted to add that I never ‘heart’ tracks or compositions, but sure would like to have the ability to ‘heart’ a specific interpretation of a given composition.
If you un-heart a composition that this occurred with, does it then un-like/un-heart all of them (I hope this is the case), at least then it would get rid of all the “unknowingly” liked/hearted items…??
Yes. To me this appears to be a consequence of lacking conceptual analysis with regard to classical music. But correcting this may be not so easy. How would one identify all ‘hearted’ interpretations, how search for a given ‘hearted’ interpretation? Would it be possible to list under a given composition in the composition browser all the interpretations present in the library?
I have never used that and have been away from home for the last couple of weeks, so can’t look at it. But if it is implemented, then it should be not so difficult to allow for lookup of ‘hearted’ interpretations of a given composition. That would be a nice feature to have.
or by clicking a star rating?
