Hey there @mkowales,

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome 🙂

You can search for albums within your library by following these steps:

Go to Your Library.
At the top of the screen you'll see some tags: Playlists, Podcasts, Artists, Albums.
Select the "Albums" one.

This may vary across devices. This is how you'll see them on the desktop app and the web player:

This is how it looks on the mobile app:

You can also use the search icon to open a quick search bar. You can write the name of the album there, and if you saved it previously, it'll appear.

We hope you found this helpful. Let us know if you need anything else.

Cheers!

this isn’t a complete solution, it is a helpful partial solution.

i use the spotify app on a macbook & this is what i did:

Go to Your Library. At the top of the screen you'll see some tags: Playlists, Podcasts, Artists, Albums. Select the "Playlists" one.

You can also use the search icon to open a quick search bar. You can write the name of the album there, and if you saved it previously, it'll appear.

thank you for the help.
