Issue description:

Album ‘Dress to Kill’ from the group ‘ExWHYZ’ has 10 songs. For some songs in this album, tags ‘Artist Name’ differ however all 10 songs have identical ‘Album Artist’ tag set.

Despite having auto download rule configured for all of ‘ExWHYZ’, songs 1 & 3 are not getting picked up by auto-downloader.

Why are some songs not auto downloading?
 

Reproduction steps:

 

  1. Add album ‘ExWHYZ - Dress to Kill’ to your subsonic server (I use navidrome)
  2. In Symfonium, enable auto-offline rule for ‘ExWHYZ’ and hit sync
  3. Observe how for this particular album, songs 1 & 3 refuse to auto-download despite symfonium being aware they are part of the same album.

Your rule is about the artist and his songs.

It will cache all songs where this artist is a track artists as expected.

If you want something different you need to build your own smart playlist and offline cache that.

Is it possible to create auto offline rule based on ‘album artist’ rather than ‘artist name’?

Symfonium is already correctly grouping albums based on ‘album artist’ tag.

I just told you, create an album smart playlist and auto offline cache it.
