+1 for considering MusicBrainz/Picard practices a little more (but still sticking to ID3 ofc).

Yes, exactly what I was referring to, thank you for your effort for verbalizing it properly Andre!

As I said I still consider adding a new sorting to other categories a better solution than to add new "Last Played *" categories or to add a grouping to the "Recently played" category. By adding a new "Last played" sorting + using the Reverse option a user could also see which (for example) albums he has never listened to or which album were played a long ago, something that you can't achieve by adding a new grouping in "Recently played". TBH a feature that I consider quite useful.

Thank you for your attention Max, I don't want to hijack this thread and I don't know which solution OP suggests, but in this thread we already discussed some solutions. I haven't thought about a solution based on headings, I was thinking more of displaying the album instead of the tracks (maybe a checklist option with "Show album instead of single tracks"). For an example, let's assume the following is a screenshot of my "Recently played" category: After selecting the checkbox the result should be something like: Then you can have two possible solutions: The album view contains just the songs that you've listened recently (for example in shuffle mode) The album view contains the whole album This is of course just one of the possible solutions, I still consider adding the "Sort by recently played" sorting option to other Categories a better solution, at least compared to this one related to the "Recently played" category. We have thoroughly discussed the topic in this thread and several people manifested their interest over time, so I hope it takes a little traction

We've already talked about a similar request here and similar remarks were arose. I don't still get @andrewilley 's take, of course we're playing just files with ID3 tags, so which is the point of using a music player instead of a file manager? An Album is an abstraction, but to stick to the just files paradigm seems reductive for a music player. If I put a CD on a physical player and listen to a single song, when was the last time I listened to that album? Those are just syntactical tricks, the user should decide if that's a useful feature or not, not a philosophical debate on if you listen to files or to an album. Plus this feature is implemented in most mobile music players (I remember it being the default sorting for Google Play Music in 2014). Really hope seeing this addressed in the 96X development cycle or in the future, it appears that I'm not the only one wanting it.

+1 on this one, we already touched this topic here but the discussion didn't get much traction.

Thanks Max for this update. Just a quick note, when rounded corners are disabled a left padding on the cover is preserved, is this the way intended to be? It looks rather strange UX-wise.

I don't see the distinction here, do you mean that if I add some tracks of an album on the n day and then after that I add other tracks of the same album on the n+x day then the album will still be sorted as added on the n day? Isn't it how it should behave?

From the Library home you can go in the Albums category and there from the 3-dots-menu you can select List Options -> Sort: by date added to Library

+1, I always thought to have a toggle switch to disable rounded corner in the default skin as a good idea
