In the global settings, I have sort by original release date (I also tried release date). When I view the artist albums, they are scattered by popularity. I then I have to click on the sort button and say sort by release date, and it works. The issue is, the default sort should be based on the global settings and its not. 2nd, I should not have to click the sort button for every artist I bring up. This function has worked without any issues for years, why has 1.8 deviated from how it used to work? Same goes for showing of hidden albums, which still doesnât work
No there isnât - itâs pretty much my only remaining beef with 1.8, although I guess Iâm used to it now. I donât have the sidebar permanently visible, so I see six albums per row.
Agree that sorting by release date should be the default - but once Iâve set it that way it remains set when I look at different artists - so needs fixing but maybe usable for now?
Hidden albums is also for me a problem - but my issues were there in 1.7 - counts of albums / artists / tracks are wrong (assuming that if itâs hidden it should not be counted).
This is definitely frustrating while switching between album list and album details view. It seems that in album list, the filter button is active in some sort of way. If you click on this button and then the x button, then you can switch between the two without going to the top of the list again.
Weird! How did you figure out this work around?
I canât remember. I noticed it the first day of 1.8.
Thanks to the Roon team for this beautiful new UI. As promised, itâs very magazine-like, and easy on the eyes.
Things I like about the 1.8 desktop UI:
- The constant left-hand menu. This saves many clicks during the day.
- Generally thoughtful and intuitive design. Buttons seem to in the right place. Placing the âNow Playingâ title on the left makes more sense to me.
- Vertical scrolling. Seems faster/easier. (I usually use a track pad.)
- Active home/end keys in playlists.
- The ability to remove an album from Qobuz favorites.
- I think it sounds a little better, but maybe itâs because it looks better.
Suggestions for 1.8:
- I miss the ability to see which playlists a track belongs to.
- It would be nice to be able to remove a track/album from a playlist from the album view.
- More keyboard shortcuts. Especially to âClear Upcomingâ in the queue.
Thanks again. Nice upgrade!
Typing âcam deasâ to search an artist and Roon always freezes.
The new Roon version sure has me coming back to the forums more often.

In Settings >> General >> Browsing Preferences, turn off âAlways show he sidebarâ. I then have 8 across on my PC.

Have you tried this recently? I just did this search. It took a while for it to return a result (maybe 18 seconds), but I got a result for the artists Cam Deas.
Thank you!!!
Settings > General > Show playlists on album page.
I have just tried. And it freezes when I enter âCam Deasâ profile. I have cleared cache and this is still happening.
where is your Roon core installed/running?
Reminds me of visiting a friendâs apartment after the hot new girl friend arrives
Same here, shows up fast. But what is a bit strange is that under âoverviewâ I can see 2 albums, but under âdiscographyâ they do not show up, only appearances (2) and one compilation. This with Qobuz subscription in France.
I am just using PC, so on partition C: 
, although my library is on the other ssd.
Whatâs more - I have to restart Roon, and then it starts on âCam Deasâ site with loading icon and freezes again. So I have to be quick and click Home screen in one second and only then Roon works as usual.
And to clarify - showing search records for âCam Deasâ works well. This âfreezingâ only happens when I enter artistâs page.
