@Sagnasty If no specific locale is set the sort command delivers an undesired result: If a UTF-8 locale is set the sort command delivers the desired result: Back to the determination of the LATEST count. If no special system locale is set (i.e. locale is "C" or "POSIX") the LATEST count is 4.171 as usual 12 less then the album count. Setting the system locale to LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 (Germany) or LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 (Poland) or the well-known LANG=en_US.UTF-8 the LATEST count is 4.183 exactly the same as the album count. I'll stay with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 for the next weeks to see whether my argumentation is valid. I recommend other users to use their familar locale. Use the link to the archlinux wiki mentioned above. As for today I see no bug in rAudio in counting LATEST albums (at least in my installation). |

A week has passed in which I have been working intensively on the tag values of my library and the LATEST list.
Rather, I cannot recognize any regularities in the LASTEST list, which leads me to the following questions:
Let me present some examples from my library. At the top level of my library there are 7 directories, simply described here as TD1 to TD7. I'm beginning with an empty library, i.e. "album" and "latest" aren't present in /srv/http/data/mpd. Then I inserted one by one the subtrees TD1 to TD7 to the library and made a note of the counters for "album" and "latest" after an "Update all files" without the checkbox "Append Latest list". Then I built the difference of the files "album" and "latest" and found some interesting irregulaties (selection only).
I have found some other "unexplained phenomena" that are not so easy to describe. I now have the choice of simply not using LATEST or trying to help providing the originally intended function. But first, I need from @rern the definition of LATEST. My interest in LATEST is a function informing me about the newest (daily, weekly, ...) contributions to my library. Cheers klassikmann |

General remark:
This is a minor issue for me. I can "live" without the "Latest" feature. But the root cause of the problem described below could affect other features also.
This thread is a continuation of an earlier thread starting with comment #1885 (reply in thread).
Observations:
This behaviour alone left the "Latest" function useless.
Compare now both views:
Observations:
I suspect as the "culprit" is the album artist starting with a diacritic: "Ádám Fischer".
My conjecture: There is a difference in the process of building the two list, my guess: something around "sort -u".
