    tracks not deleting?

    past couple nights i have tried deleting a few tracks that showed up on my profile that i didn't want to and they won't delete... some deleted but then some didn't.

    what is this

  • I have the same problem...well, sort of. I know why the ones in question are not deleting on my page, but it may not be the same issue as yours.

    As an example, let's say I play a track tagged as thus...

    Sweet - Little Willy

    it shows up on my Recently Listened Songs that way...I click through to the See more/edit page so I can delete that track with the [X] in the far right column. It goes away, but when refreshing, it's still there. When I go back to my profile page, I see that track listed under Top Tracks, only last.fm has appended "The" in front of the artist name, so it's displayed as...

    The Sweet - Little Willy

    It seems that on any track in which last.fm automatically appends The to the artist name, it will not delete. I suspect there are also tracks in which the site may correct spelling or other details, and I also suspect those tracks will not delete.

    So, now that some detective work has been interjected, will this bug get fixed? The only workaround at this time is to completely remove it from your library, which is a very lame kludge.

    I'm having the same problem since at least yesterday. It seems that this issue has something to do with the auto-correction feature. The weird thing is that I disabled auto-correction ages ago, so it shouldn't affect me at all, but it does.

    I scrobbled these two songs:

    A Winged Victory for the Sullen – Requiem for the Static King, Part Two
    A Winged Victory for the Sullen – Requiem for the Static King, Part One

    I can not delete these two tracks. The library for that artist for the last 7 days looks like this: http://www.last.fm/user/RaiseHell/library/music/A+Winged+Victory+for+the+Sullen?from=1347304017&rangetype=week

    As you can see, in the library the tracks are shown with "Pt. X", so it seems auto-correction actually changed the song title even though auto-correction isn't even enabled.

    But it's even more screwed. The library view for the above artist also shows the tracks with "Pt. X" instead of "Part One"/"Part Two": http://www.last.fm/user/RaiseHell/library/music/A+Winged+Victory+for+the+Sullen

    If you click one of these two to see the list of when that particular song was played, you're getting this: http://www.last.fm/user/RaiseHell/library/music/+noredirect/A+Winged+Victory+for+the+Sullen/_/Requiem+for+the+Static+King,+Pt.+1

    "No scrobbles to display for ..."

    Which of course makes sense, since I've never scrobbled that track with that particular name, hence no scrobbles to display. And by the way, what's even more annoying is the fact that the way my tracks are tagged is the correct one. I own the CD and on its back it clearly says "Part One" and "Part Two".

    Please fix that ASAP. Thanks very much.

  • More no-delete artists...

    1910 Fruitgum Co. > 1910 Fruitgum Company
    Gary Lewis and the Playboys > Gary Lewis & the Playboys

    So that means any use of the word "and" that last.fm changes to "&" will be stuck. And I am getting artists on my "Recently Listened Tracks: that were not recently listened. I guess this will eventually get tacked onto the known problems list, then who knows how long before it will be addressed. (sigh)

  • OK, workaround.

    If you enable auto-correction, it will change the tracks in your Recently Listened Tracks to the same spelling as on Top Tracks (the latter uses auto-correction even if you have it disabled, for some stupid reason -- the root of this problem, as a matter of fact!) So now that the two listings are in sync, you can delete them.

    The actual correct fix is that last.fm should not auto-correct the track on its Top Tracks in the first place because it breaks the functionality of at least two other site features (1. disabling auto-correction, and 2. deleting tracks.)

  • I agree, it should be in the Known Issues list, which I did check before figuring out the workaround. I wish I'd seen that second link before...would have saved me a lot of time and grief. It's a slightly different scenario, but the same action fixes it. Clearly the auto-correct option/toggle is not global, while the auto-correct *process* is.

    This is quite annoying indeed.

    Not to mention the occasional delay in displayed playcount.

    Also, some tracks seem to display "0 plays", when entered through one's library... whilst they've clearly been played numerous of times, over the past.

  • Works. Thanks much.

    Not for me.

  • So, does the fact that this is still not listed as a known issue mean that the keeper(s) of that list don't bother reading threads such as these and that one has to aggressively lobby for the programming team to acknowledge that an issue really exists?

    It's still broken.

  • It's Been Broken!

    I joined Last.fm Dec 2011 with first paid subscription. Now I have two. The issue with some tracks & artists not deleting has been going on for a very long time now. I should keep notes on this. It will tell you it's deleted Then refresh or go away & return only to discover it's right back. I was having that problem with some Smokey Robinson & Miracles tracks. Very frustrated, I blew out the entire file & guess what. One by one they began to return over time. Other artists have been no problem. I am clueless as to WHY it happens...but it really does. If I can recall examples, I will post them.

    Considering this issue hasn't been fixed in weeks nor even added to the list of known issues I guess we should assume that it is supposed to be some kind of a feature.

    I just got a play of Little Willy from last.fm then removed it a few minutes later.
    It seems to have gone ok.

    http://www.last.fm/user/headey/library/music/Sweet/_/Little+Willy

    It showed on 'tracks' as Sweet.
    My http://www.last.fm/settings/website Correct artist and track names: was un-checked ;
    I'll try it again later Checked.

    edit
    Yes, worked ok again for me I'm afraid.

  • Just Now "Example"

    I realized that I wanted to DELETE "You Got The Love" from my list of songs by Rufus. I did everything to Remove.Delete.A that time is "Says Deleted" . Then When I return to the Page....It's right back showing No Plays....BUT IT'S STILL THERE. Should be GONE. I'll say it again.....This has been a problem for a long time just with certain songs. Thankfully It's not something Really bad. Makes me wonder If I can delete the HORRIBLE Wilson Pickett HIT that Last fm now only plays the "Live" version of. It still will fool you because it shows the correct CD & sample track. I will go find the HIT I'm talking about. It's not only Live, But Long. Terrible, Yet I continue to pay for this. I keep hoping it will get Fixed as I continue to pay for junk versions & some that won't delete!!!! Frustrated Subscriber indeed.
