Living without folders - help me work out a strategy

Roon is doing some analysis as new features are added.
I don’t think there is an escape not to do the analysis

More info can be found here:

Is re-analyzing normal after upgrading to 1.3? [Yes]

Yep. That’s normal. As nice as it is to have analysis completed it’s not required to use Roon. If you play a track that hasn’t been analyzed yet then that track is done on-demand before it’s played. If you bump analysis down to 2 cores when you want to play music the dropouts should stop. You can always up it again when you aren’t playing.
