Hello Benjamin,
thank you about asking those additional question - please be so kind and aswer me just this one question:
- Are you using ARC yourself? Because if so, please let me know if you don’t have this bug. Because I know no ARC user who hasn’t the problem. it seems to be a bug since day one.
To answer your questions:
-
I mostly ban tracks using roon remote. Sometimes when using ARC, but 90% of time using Roon Remote. In Roon Remote it works perfectly, ARC just doesn’t ignore banned tracks and plays them like they wouldn’t be banned. You can only ban a track once, because if you ban it again you unban it. I don’t really understand the question. A track is banned or NOT banned. You can’t ban a track ten times.
-
Yes, there is a pattern: I ban the songs which I don’t like. Simple as that.
-
No, there are no fully banned artists, because in this case I would just delete them from my NAS, Qobuz or Tidal. It doesn’t make sense for me to have a banned artist in my library. To precice my answer before any strange follow-up-question shows up: I have no banned artists in my library.
-
What do you mean with “repeating” tracks? ARC is just playing the music, in this case e.g. an album which I select and press play. It doesn’t repeat songs. It just plays the whole album, ignoring “banned” tracks. Also, when I just do shuffle mode (e.g. my whole library. or a certain artist, album, etc.) It’s like the function “ban a song” wouldn’t exist and work. I don’t know how to make myself more clear.

In the few times when Roon Radio is working in ARC (please note this Topic) and THIS topic and also also THIS topic it doesn’t play banned tracks.
