Description of Issue

I downloaded 15 albums to Roon ARC for a plane ride, and when I got back, deleted them from my downloads (I thought) but it also deleted my actually media from my server. I noticed about a month later when trying to access an album, so I restored a backup, but they imported into Roon as new albums, losing all my play counts. Is there any way to get this back?

You could restore a backup from a month ago if nothing of importance happened in between. You could also play them to a silent zone until they reach the desired play count.

As for ARC, I’m not convinced that it needs a Remove from Library option, but the two options are quite distinct

I’d unfortunately lose all my play history from that whole month, which had more listening time and albums added than the 15 albums.

I noticed the difference in remove from library/downloads later, thinking the files were only local to my phone.

Understood, then silent playing is the only way
