Bugs with Prompted Playlists?

I have created what I think is a fun Prompted Playlist - half of it are the most frequent songs I've listened to this year. The next quarter are songs that are popular with fans of the songs on the playlist but I haven't listened to since the end of 2024. And the next are songs that are popular with that same group of folks but I've never listened to a song by the artist, EVER, on Spotify. And I've found some good stuff, and I've had to refine it a lot - the last part I've had to qualify that the artist needs to have a discography going back to 2022 to weed out AI artists, for instance. And I need to make sure to state the song and title can't match any other song I have listened to so they don't just put a live version of a song i listen to all the time, etc. But overall it's pretty good.

Except, there seems to always be ONE song that shows up that's bonkers. Like, "Smile Like You Mean It" by the Killers shows up, and it says I've never listened to it on Spotify when I think I listened to it last week.

Anyone else have issues like this or similar with Prompted Playlists? Happy to share the playlist via DM as it seems we are not allowed to share them here.

New Readest User With Questions

Hi! I'm a former Calibre user who DID look for these answers but have thus far not found any ... forgive me for how simple these questions may seem but all I'm really hoping to use this for is to be able to see my library, mostly so I don't idiotically buy or download a book I already have. Sometimes of course I'll want to read the book via Readest, but that's a secondary use case.

  • Art Work and Metadata. Some of the books I have do not have cover art so I've manually added them or used the Auto-Retrieve function (awesome) -- but then when I go back and look later, it's not in the "shelf" -- it might be on the book itself, but on that top presentation layer it still is the original no image (or wrong image or whatever was there). How can I fix THIS?
  • Groups/Shelves. Speaking of that level, if I want to group into ... Groups, say, "Baseball" or whatever ... I know I'm a dummy here, but HOW do I do this? I just am having a complete mental block. Is there a YouTube video or an FAQ somewhere I can be pointed to? I simply can't sort it out.
  • Synching with the iOS App. Is there a limit to how many books will show up on the Free version of your account on iOS? I'm assuming that's why I'm not seeing my whole Library.

Thanks in advance for humoring me.
