Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/96

Depending on the genre of music (like hip-hop), it's commonplace to release 2 versions of an album: an explicit version and an edited "radio" version. When using the Spotify desktop client, you'll see both albums under an Artist page and can pick the one you want. The Explicit songs are marked with an "E" icon.

With spotify_player, if I am viewing an Artist's page, I seem to only be shown the "radio" version. I noted I can do a global search with the Album name to find both versions and play the explicit version there.

It would be convenient to access the explicit version from the Artists' Albums page too.

@braheezy can you provide an example of such artist with both explicit/edited "radio" albums? This can be helpful to implement the feature

Yeah I think I got one here.

Kendrick Lamar has the esteemed album "To Pimp A Butterfly". It's listed once here:

About near the timestamp in the screenshot is where you can start to tell it's the clean version.


Here's the result from the Global Search. One of those in the Albums view is the explicit version (maybe another feature? annotate the difference?).
