[Feature Request] Notifications for new albums, missing songs from current albums

Feature Suggestions
1

I’ve forever been looking for a good way to stay up to date with upcoming and new release of albums from my favourite artists, and now that I am so invested in my Plex server and having it at the core of my media storage, management and consumption, I thought it would be good to have this as an additional feature.

It would be great if this either worked for all albums, or if perhaps you can tag specific artists for these notifications. I’m not really sure on the best way for notifications to be displayed, probably in the Music library dashboard, under a separate section titled “New albums not in your library”.

In addition, it might be useful for people to be able to see if there were any songs missing from albums in their library. Again, not sure on how best for something like to work; maybe either a separate menu within the library that lists all albums with missing songs, and perhaps having them sorted and grouped by artist for easier browsing and remediation.

In both cases, links to anything missing from the library, for purchase from online stores would be cool.

Not sure how useful this would be to other people?

A lot of people are no longer buying complete albums, just individual tracks. I would think the constant notifications of missing tracks from albums would be more nuisance than useful in that case. It would have to be a feature that the user can disable.

Oh absolutely. Certainly has the potential to be a PITA.
Perhaps even a passive notification (when viewing an album, songs could be shown that you don’t have, but with an icon or label next to it to indicate you don’t have it).
