I apologise to you all for bringing metadata issues again and again.
Based on my previous problems, I blew away the database and rebuilt it. This has helped enormously. Thanks @Rugby.
However, it is far from perfect. My import settings are set to prefer my file tags for data that I groom and prefer Roon for data that I do not groom - very nice. However, when I go through the albums I keep finding Roon using Roon data when I indicated I wanted my groomed data. This seems particularly true for Album name and Album Artist.
Here are my Import Settings with a preference for my Album Artist.
This is happening quite frequently.
I put (HiRes) and (SACD) in the album name to make it easy for me to identify non-cd formats.
30% of those I have looked at have the Roon value imposed.
Hey @PNCD – the screenshots of album artist and title preferences look wrong to me. We’re going to try and reproduce, and if this is a bug we’ll open a ticket.
Hi @PNCD ---- Just touching base with you here. As Mike mentioned we are trying to reproduce this behavior in house and are awaiting some feedback from our tech team.
In the meantime, may I kindly ask you to please post screenshots of the album details page for both of the albums you are referencing in this thread.
I cannot do that, @Eric Eric.
I am correcting what I am finding.
It seems to me that in many cases it is the selection box that is wrong: shows the Roon element as chosen when in fact the file tag is being used.
This is what the Album editor shows: Both Lila Downs and Lila Downs y la Misteriosa
Why is Roon using its tag value when the loading default is to use the file value?
This behaviour is not what I want and it is also inconsistent. Sometimes two artist names will split into two artists (Louisiana Red & Little Victor’s Juke Joint) and sometimes not (Jimmy Page & Robert Plant)
Somehow it shows both Lenine and Veiga.
Is this enough for you to get to work on? It seems to me that the tag preferences in Import Settings are not being applied in an effective manner.
Roon has thrown out Bob Dylan to be replaced with The Masked Animals. Now take a look at the Album Name! Even though it shows that it is using the Roon album name, it in fact displays Masked And Anonymous.
There is so much of this!
Does nobody else have this problem? Does nobody else want to use Roon software with library tags?
@mike, do you have an eta for making library preferences work at least for Album and Album Artist which I found to be non-functioning?
I am holding of deleting the database and rebuilding until you have these library tools working. Thank you.
