Recent Activity shows albums added years ago instead of recent ones (ref#21GIG3)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· New releases have seemingly caused Recent Activity to feature albums added years ago, not the most recent

Hi @Bruce_Orr,

Does this occur with only streaming content, or are local albums affected?

From your screenshot, it looks like only streaming albums are affected.

Please see this thread:

Incorrect "Added" date for Qobuz albums (ref#QLDXI2) [Qobuz fix rolling out]

Hi everyone, @Osamu_SHIOTANI, A follow-up here. With the release of 1653, there have been ongoing reports of discrepancies with “Date Added” fields for streaming services (including Tidal, Qobuz, and KKBOX). Although the mechanism was different than the Qobuz issue originally tracked in this thread, the symptom was quite similar: for certain users, the import date for streaming content would suddenly jump to the current date. The team has a fix in the pipeline to address these lingering “Date…

The team has work in the pipeline to prevent this from occurring.

In the meantime, navigate to Roon Settings > Library > Import Settings and scroll down to “Import date defaults to” and select “File Creation time” (temporarily).

Let us know if this helps. Thank you!

Connor, Thanks for the quick reply.

First, the areas affected after the recent update are Album View and Recently Added. all albums are affected regardless of it being Tidal or local library.

In the Album View, when the album order is toggled to Date Added, the order is instead alphabetical by title, not Date Added. As a result the first albums listed are those beginning with numbers (7th Avenue, for example) and the album titles beginning with the letter A. When I added a new Tidal album for the first time post-update, it appeared as it should have - as the very first most recent album added.

On the home page, Recently Added albums are listed pretty much in the same order as described above, but every album says it was added two days ago. It’s like the entire library was re-scanned. The album added post-update appears as it should - as the most recent album.

Hope that helps. I didnt realize how important Recently Added album feature is.

I can send more screen shots as needed, I am away from my computer so I cannot do that now. Also, will try the suggested temporary workaround and let you know.

Thank you

Conner, your temp workaround worked. Look forward to the permanent fix you’re working on. Thx for your attention to the problem and help.

Hello @Bruce_Orr,

It’s great news that the temporary workaround restored your library view! I know how essential that “Recently Added” section is for keeping track of your newest finds and maintaining your listening habits.

Since the workaround is currently holding steady for you, we are going to close this specific thread to keep our community organized. Please continue to monitor the master topic linked below for the latest progress on the permanent fix from our development team:

Incorrect “Added” date for streaming albums (Master Thread)

If the Issue Returns

Once the permanent fix is officially released in a future Roon update, you should be able to revert your “Import Date” settings to your preference. If you find that the sort order is still incorrect after that update, please open a new thread so we can take another look at your specific library database.

Happy listening!
