'Release Year' as album display option

[Ben_Kanspedos]

Lots of options, but no Year. This is a detail I want to see when I browse my albums.
Thank you for your consideration

Release date is always displayed if the album was identified by Roon (or if the date was completed manually by the user).

[Ben_Kanspedos]

You are right, if you view in Artist mode. But if you are browsing Albums or on Home the date is not displayed

[Aaron_Siegel]

Big +1 to this one. It seems like low-hanging fruit in terms of being an easy feature to add, and it would be huge for me!

I love that Roon uses Year as the secondary sort for Album display (as usual, Roon gets it right!) If I could see the Year in the display as well, that’d be even more awesome.

Was about to start a thread on this but saw someone else had beat me to it!

As Aaron says above, this should be very easy to do, since the option for format is already there. IMO release year is much more important than format when browsing your collection as a whole.

Album Years in album view

Hi, If I am looking at an artist, and scroll down to the album section, I see years listed under each album. However, when I click “View All Main Albums”, the years disappear. Why do the years disappear? Is there an option to display this in the album view? Thanks, Matt

I would also like this ability to display release year in the Albums view.

You should vote for it by clicking the button at the top of this page

This feels less like a ‘feature request’ than inconsistent behaviour in the interface.

As Ben points out above, the year shows on the Artists page, but not of the Album page.

Not sure why I’d want to see the bit/sample rate as summary info on the My Albums page but not the year the album was released. Surely the year an album in released is a key piece of info when scrolling though a long list of albums to find it.

My Album view

Fully agree with OP and the rest. My primary way of browsing my library is Album view, sorted chronologically. Would be great to be able to display the date.

[Gianluca_Finistauri]

Fully agree, one of the key improvement I need in roon. Should not be complicated as in other views it is visible.
Even only the year wourld be a step ahead for me

By the way funny you can sort by release year, but the year is not shown…

Hello, as the title says I’d like to see the release year with the album info on the My Albums section where is has the album title, artist and file type. I can’t seem to find a setting for it.
