· The list of Qobuz favourite artists in Roon never changes and bears no resemblance to any of my favourite artists. How is Roon building this list? I can’t see anything in Qobuz either. There are some bands in this list that I never listened to. The artist list hasn’t changed for months and there are a couple in the list that I don’t recognise even if they had been guests on other albums.
Roon adds the Primary Artist (and perhaps some other, limited credit roles) from the albums in My Albums to My Artists. It does NOT use artists that you separately favorited in the Qobuz app.
The most likely, typical cause for this is that these artists are listed as primary artist on some of your albums, perhaps although they shouldn’t be. It happens, and this would be a problem with the album’s metadata. (In this case, edit the album credits and remove them).
The My Library > Artists list has nothing to do with what you listen to. It is a view of your library and thus its content depends ONLY on the albums that you add to your Roon library (i.e., the primary artist credits of these albums.) And you have these sort options:
If you want to look at what you have been listening to, go to Browse > Home > What you’ve been listening to. This shows your artists/albums by “most listened” order:
I’m not raising an objection with the Roon front page. That’s perfectly fine it’s the Qobuz homepage within Roon that’s the problem. I don’t really understand what this section is for because the key word is favorite (sic). If the idea is to list favourites then it should reflect my listening tastes and not attempt to be clever or use some algorithm to work out something that bears no resemblance to reality. If it can’t reflect my taste then I’ll just ignore it. Better still make it configurable so I can remove it from view.
Sorry, I was confused about what you were referring to. I never use Roon > Browse > Qobuz > My Qobuz because it is so limited. So you are referring to this?
As far as I can tell this reflects the artists that you favorite in Qobuz. I don’t think it has anything to do with what you listened to either. The list in Roon reflects the artists favorited in my Qobuz app (in “sort by date added” order):
Solved. There is a section buried in the Qobuz showing followed (not favourite) artists. Deleted them all and there is nothing showing in Roon anymore.
Edit: I see, there seems to be some inconsistency between Quboz apps. What‘s listed under „Favorites“ in the desktop app, and visualized with the button as in my above screenshot (but called Subscribe/Unsubscribe in the tooltip of the desktop app) seems to be equivalent to what’s called „Follow“ in the phone app:
I’ve deleted everything and can’t see how a favourite artist can be added now. It doesn’t seem to be through the the favourite album function. I am using the Android version of Qobuz.
