Library Views: Artists, Albums, Playlists & All Tracks

The Library screen organizes your music into five views, switchable with the filter tabs near the top of the screen. The tabs are, in order: All, Artist, Album, Playlists, Recordings. Each view is designed for a different way of browsing.

Artists

The Artists view shows every artist in your library as a card in a two-column grid. Each card displays:

  • Album art from a representative track by that artist
  • The artist name

[SCREENSHOT: Artists grid — two columns of artist cards]

Tap an artist card to open the Artist Focus modal — a full-screen view with albums, songs, bio, and a shuffle button.

Long-press an artist card to reveal a context menu:

  • Delete — remove all tracks by this artist
  • Omit from Recommendations — exclude this artist from AI playlist generation and shuffle recommendations
  • Reset Analytics — clear listening history for this artist
  • Set Up Next — shuffle all tracks by this artist into the Up Next queue
  • Merge — combine this artist’s tracks with another artist entry. See Merging Artists.

Albums

The Albums view shows every album as a card in a two-column grid. Each card shows:

  • Album art
  • Album title
  • Album artist

[SCREENSHOT: Albums grid]

Tap an album card to flip it over. The back of the card is the album’s track list — tap a track there to start playing from that track. Tapping the card itself never starts playback; the flip is the only thing a tap does. Tap ← [album title] at the top of the back to flip the card back to the artwork. See Albums for the full walkthrough.

Long-press an album card to reveal its action chips:

  • Add to Playlist — add all album tracks to a playlist
  • Set Up Next — queue the album after the current track
  • Edit Title — rename the album in your library
  • Reset Analytics — clear listening stats for this album
  • Delete — remove all tracks in this album

Playlists

The Playlists view shows all your playlists as cards.

[SCREENSHOT: Playlists grid]

Tap a playlist card to open it and see its tracks.

Inside a playlist:

  • Tap any track to start playing from that point
  • Long-press a track to reveal its action chips, then tap Delete to remove it from the playlist (this does not delete the track from your library)
  • Tap Back to return to the playlists grid

Long-press a playlist card to delete the playlist.

See Playlists for building, reordering and managing playlists in detail.

Creating Playlists

Playlists are created in two ways:

  1. From an album — long-press an album card → Add to Playlist → create a new playlist
  2. From the AI — ask Library AI to create a playlist and it will save it automatically. See Library AI.

All Tracks

The All Tracks view is a flat, scrollable list of every track in your library.

[SCREENSHOT: All Tracks list — track rows with artwork, title, artist]

Each row shows:

  • Album art thumbnail
  • Track title
  • Artist name

Tap a track to play it immediately.

Long-press a track to reveal its action chips:

  • Up Next — add this track to the front of the Up Next queue
  • Delete — remove from library

Tap the row again (or long-press a different row) to dismiss the chips.

Plex tracks that aren’t downloaded yet also show a Download button on the row at all times — you don’t need to long-press for it. It reads Getting while the download runs. See Downloading Tracks for Offline Use.

Load More

The All Tracks view loads 100 tracks at a time. If your library is larger, a “Load more · N remaining” button appears at the bottom. Tap it to load the next page.


Recordings

The Recordings view lists your own multi-track projects rather than imported music.

[SCREENSHOT: Recordings list — Create New Song button above a list of projects]

  • Create New Song at the top opens the recorder with a fresh project
  • Each row shows the project name and the date it was last changed
  • Tap a row to reopen that project in the recorder
  • Long-press a row to reveal Rename and Delete chips

If you haven’t recorded anything yet, the view reads “No recordings yet”.


Switching Modes

Tapping any filter tab changes the view immediately. Your playback continues uninterrupted when you switch tabs — browsing the library doesn’t affect what’s playing.
