That’s been clear after all those years without almost no improvement in tagging and playlists, but I am a single (in musical terms ) guy and love 12" & EP’s. The Designers and Developers should listen to the users of their software. If they don’t use this feature or want to see it then make the visibility of tags and playlists in tracks optional.
The Knowlegde Base still says it’s a great way to organize your collection:
Tags are a great way to organize your collection, giving you quick access to just the right music. You can tag almost anything in Roon, and it’s easy to get started.
Roon’s Tags feature was designed to be fast, easy, and endlessly flexible. For example, you can use Tags to:
Organize music for a party (by tagging artists or genres)
Keep track of music from a certain source (ie, HD Tracks, or Bandcamp)
Remember context (ie, Recommended By Brian, or Music From Summer 2000)
Keep track of edits (ie, Artists That Need Better Photos)
I presume they forgot to add UP TO AND INCLUDING version 1.7
It’s Unicode symbols. Just search for it in your favourite search engine. But not every Unicode symbol will work because the font that Roon’s UI uses needs to support those Unicodes. When they change the font like they did now, you would want to check your tags again if all those symbols are still being displayed properly.
I love them because they allow me to create something like tag categories and I can quickly tell tags apart from each other. So e.g. if I want to look at all the genres or moods I assigned to a track I can just visually scan its tags for the respective symbols.
We definitely need this. I have spent hours creating various playlists from the 9,000 albums in my collection. It is a nightmare that the playlist info isn’t displayed by the track name. Also, the tracks in my playlists are no longer numbered. I usually only listen to my playlists with Roon, preferring my vinyl collection when I listen to albums.
I miss the Tag and Playlist info on song level if I open an Album.
I can only add a Tag if I use the 3 dots on the right side in the line of a song.
I can’t even change the tags for a song or invert the tag for an search as possible in Version 1.7
In general, I like 1.8. But tagging is how I use Roon, so this is a huge setback.
Crucial for me is to be able to:
1 - Display if/what tag is set on a track
2 - Possibility to remove tags from album and tracks in a less complex way (1.7 style)
Roon: Please revert tag capability so it can be usable again!
+1 that there needs to be a preference setting for viewing tags and playlist on each track. Also, the ‘Add to Tags’ button should instead just be a ‘Tags’ button that enables tagging and untagging, with a visual indicator for current tags.
OK. I take that back, but you have to be careful not to sort or filter anything after calling up the albums in a tab. That seems to put one in a different view where Remove is not an option.
and where is the list of my favourite track when browsing by artists, what is the point of marking them if I cant get a list, that the old version showed?!?
