Description of the issue

Album doesn’t show up on Artist Page - > Overview even when it resides in the Roon database (see screenshots)

I notice that you seem to have multiple Versions of Volume 1. Are you confident that the version you show in your first screenshot isn’t buried as a Version of another volume in your collection?

I only have one (local) version.

I notice that the artist is being displayed as “Young, Neil” instead of the correct “Neil Young”. That’s probably why it doesn’t show up on his artist page. I would check the metadata in your local album…

Hi,

I always give the Album Artist a value of “family name, first name” (when possible). It gives the same sort order you’ll find in record stores. As you can see at the last screen shot, all Neil Young albums have “Young, Neil” as Album Artist.

A.K.A.

  • Tindersticks
  • Dylan, Bob
  • Zappa, Frank
  • Western Cowboys

So you ignore Roon’s naming conventions? That is probably why you have this issue. See:

In particular, this section:

One thing worth noting is that Roon will attempt to match up names that you have put into your file tags with Roon database versions of the same individuals who are associated with identified content in your library. You’ll get much better results if you stick with the likes of the following:

  1. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
  2. Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky
  3. Paul McCartney
  4. Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II

Than if you use:

  1. Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus
  2. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
  3. Rodgers and Hammerstein

Clear.

But I wonder why this is the first time (noticed by me) this happend after 6100+ albums (some multi-disc) (105.000+ tracks)

I did a manual Album - > Edit - > “Edit Album” and changed “Primary Artist” to “Neil Young” instead of “Various Artists” wich did the trick.
