Amazon Music albums not saved in Wiim app

[Hawkifan]

Within the Amazon Music Icon in the Wiim app, if I go to My Music I can see all the artists I have added to my Amazon library. But if I open Rush as an example, it shows all of there albums. It won't just show the albums I have added to my Library. Is this an issue or is it just a communication issue between the two services?

Been a while since I used Amazon, and I recall some strange behaviour around artists and albums was just one of the reasons I ditched it.
Does it work as you want directly in the amazon app? I suspect not, as I generally used the amazon app / alexacast instead of the wiim app and it annoyed me there too. But who knows, maybe Amazon app has got better since then...

Tidal via wiim app behaves the similarly for me, correctly in my opinion, when I browse by Artist.
I've said I like the artist, so it shows me all their work rather than just the specific songs or albums I've liked.
I can also view my library by albums, so see just the albums I've liked.
Unfortunately, in the wiim app the search in this album view searches just album names, so I can't filter on artist in the wiim app the way I can in the tidal app.

I don't have any issues in the Amazon Music app and I will normally use it as my source and 'cast' it to the Wiim. But sometimes I have other issues doing it that way so I thought I would try it directly within the Wiim App.

When using Amazon music in the WiiM home app use the “album” tab if you only want to see the albums in your library. Under this tab your albums will be listed alphabetically (at least mine are).

Ok. I will use that method instead. A little inconvenient but it works.

I agree it’s a bit clunky but at least it works. As a related aside after I add albums in the Amazon app I make sure to go into settings and hit the “Refresh My Music” button. If I do that my added albums always seem to show up right away in the WiiM app. Depending on how many albums I add the refresh can take several minutes to complete. In the past if I didn’t refresh there would be a delay in seeing the new albums in the WiiM app. Hitting refresh has solved that problem for me.
