So when I put an album on a chart, it is automatically added to my favourites. I'm starting to, or will at some point in the future be starting to work on making my decade charts. What I have realized is that I am not sure I will want every album from my decade charts added to my favourites. Because while they may be good albums, I want to save the favourites thing for only certain albums. I don't think an album that might theoretically appear in my charts as say, 80th best album of the 2000's, and have a rating of say 70/100 would be in my mind a favourite.

As far as I can see, there doesn't appear to be a way of taking an album that you have put in a chart out of your favourites. Is there a way? If not can it be changed so there is?

I hope I'm being coherent here.

Agree. When it was one chart per person, it kind of made sense to do it like that. But, now, things have changed, and with year charts around the corner, I think it needs to change so that favourites are explicitly added, and no albums will be automatically added. I think it needs to be all or nothing, otherwise it'll just be confusing for people.

delayed response on my part, but okay thanks, that makes sense. Smile
Not really a big deal, but any idea when you will make this change if you do?

My total chart size is 1190. The number of albums in my favorites is 1190. If an album is added to my overall, decade, and year chart, it is added to my favorites 3 times...once for every chart entry.

I haven't used the favorites area for anything yet, but if I did (and I'm sure there are those who would), this makes it pretty much impossible as albums can't be removed, and it's already populated by every album on every chart you make.

Is there any way to fix this?

there's a forthcoming change (in the next week or so) which will change the behaviour so that favourites need to be explicitly added (albums will no longer be auto-added from your charts)... (EDIT: sorry, I'm a bit behind this month due to stuff happening away from the site).

I still have albums automatically in my favorites if they are in my chart.
