    Default Roon whinge

    i'd like to say i really like roon for plenty of reasons, but 1 thing i find annoying is that i miss loads of albums id usually listen to cos they dont come up on new releases. I end up finding them when looking at he artists to see if they touring etc. Just found new deacon blue album as well as paul heaton/ jacqui abbott new album both released last month.I have several of both bands in my library so would of thought makes sense to include.
    Mebbe is a setting i can do which gets shut of all the crap (sorry meant rap)/hip hop/R&B which i dont really listen to.

    Pete,
    You can choose how to order any Artist's albums by release date, most listened to etc etc.
    Set Album Date Sort Order to "Newest First", which brings the latest release new albums to the top of the list.
    This is especially great if you have either Tidal or Qobuz integrated, as you may not have their new stuff in your stored file library.

    yea got that cheers gaz sorry. TBH i think it more a tidal whinge than a roon whinge as i dont want new releases each week to be dominated by genres i have no interest in yet miss out on new releases that i am interested in.
