I found a strange behaviour with a new album on Tidal - the new Peter Gabriel - I/O, launched on december 1st - that just doesn’t appear on Roon. Other albuns I add on Tidal immediately appear on Roon, but not this one. I can seem to be able to play it through Roon.
It does seem slow this time. I added this album to tidal Friday morning and still no show (as of Sunday). Refreshed the tidal service in Roon multiple times.
Unfortunately the problems we experienced last weekend with TIDAL data exports have continued this week. We are working closely with TIDAL to get them resolved.
Apart from the US TIDAL region – one version of the album is currently available there – we do not have the metadata for I/O in other regions.
Unfortunately I don’t anticipate getting the data for this album until mid next week.
Please accept our apologies for this. We will get this resolved as soon as possible.
Thanks for this explanation. Sadly though it’s not just the new Peter Gabriel album, it’s virtually all new releases! I added Harp - Albion and Trevor Horn - Echoes to my Tidal favourites on Friday and no sign of those either. Three weeks ago I added Bob Dylan - The Complete Budokan to my Tidal favourites and it was almost a week before it showed up on Roon.
8 newest albums in Tidal selected, 3 of them appearing in Roon. 5 still missing, amongst them P. Gabriel and T. Horn.
Joel,
thanks for the clarification about the Tidal/Roon album transfer process and add-up. Unfortunately this will not help bringing the missing albums from Tidal to Roon at the day when they are released.
Suggestion:
Why does Roon not take a 2-Tier approach?
Tier-1: Flat and quick link transfer of any new album from Tidal to Roon without any markup or additions (in the easiest possible way). Probably adding a short message type “Direct-pass through” from Tidal at the top of the album page. This will allow that every album is available in it’s “plain” format at the day of the release.
Tier-2: The album gets enriched with all the Roon specific meta-data and other, whenever the links between Tidal/Roon allow to add such a data.
Thanks for consideration in any technical feasible way.
Noticed the same thing lately…not only with Roon but also with Tidal via Plex. I’m guessing it’s something Tidal did with their metadata handling that’s causing the delay, which is more significant with some titles than others.
