Discographies no longer categorized

JNNLS — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 17:59:43 GMT

Recently when I click on an artist/group discography in Spotify it is not longer categorized (albums, singles, complications) but all items are shown in one bunch.

The categories are still shown, but no items are under each category.

What has happened and can it be returned to the previous interface? I use an Android phone, this is an issue that occured just recently.

Same thing with me. All the headers are still there, but it just dumps all three of them at the top and the discography into one mega-list underneath which just looks like a mess.

Hi @Jeremy,

the only way I can think of this behavior as "expected" is if someone accidentally deleted the category table in your database and you're having trouble restoring it. Please tell me you are working on a solution to this and that it will be fixed in the next release. That would be expected behavior 🙂

Thanks!

Just when you wrote that there was a new update which fixes this, which is awesome. I was just a little frustrated by the vagueness of your answers.

Verifying that this is fixed in 8.6.36.1068

Thanks
