I think I should have put this here.
British female singer Harriet is deemed Harriet (a US band)
@andybob Edit made for Amy Lee.
@Chrislayeruk Edit made for David Garrick.
@evand Edit made for Harriet.
@evand The Skid Row problem is, like your other unresolved issues above, almost certainly an attribution problem, not an equivalence one. Will need to dig into this when I have a bit more time.

here is a tough one: Not sure how one corrects this:
I checked out the band Zebra, the guitarist and vocalist is named Randy Jackson. I click on credits on several albums:
When one clicks on the Randy Jackson in the credits list of course it is linked to the other more popular Randy Jackson; the one from American Idol.
Even clicking the Randy Jackson link highlighted in blue in the album/band description beside the album brings us to the wrong Randy Jackson. If I didnāt know the difference I would be confused how a white guy became black, but then maybe someone might think the same looking at early Michael Jackson vs. later releases and wondering how someone went from black to white; I digressā¦
Hi there,
Niagara is messed up. The metadata is merging 3 very differently sounding bands:
- a collective project in Italy
- a rock group that which looks like a Whitesnake wannabe
- Niagara, a french rock band from the 80-90ās
Paqua is also wrong. There is at least one main album which doesnāt belong there: Ao Vivo Praia is an album from another Paqua.
Robbie Williams suffer from a rogue album: Things Are Getting Better from another Robbie Williams which seems to be in the religious thingā¦ quite funny these two got mixed up together!
Hi Scott, this looks like a simple equivalence issue caused by TIDAL grouping the two artists together under the same ID. Iāve made an edit and this should be resolved in a week or so. If not, please get back to me in this thread. Thanks.

Sol Heilo has just released a solo album (āSkinhorse Playgroundā). SHe is the same artist as Solveig Heilo from the sadly split-up Norwegian band Katzenjammer.
Thank you.
Edit made for Sol(veig) Heilo.
Many thanks.
I still donāt know how to fix this equivalence? I can remove the primary artist of āThe Monksā and add a new one āMonksā. I also did the same with the regular artist field.
All this does is create a empty Monks artist with no details or art and performances are still linked to āThe Monksā.
There has to be a better fix for this?
Iāve merged āArt of Noiseā and āThe Art of Noiseā but I canāt seem to get rid of āArt of Noiseā from being a performer. It would be great to be able to get rid of these stray performers by linking with existing performers, not sure I can do that.
Lonna Kelly and Lonna Kelley is the same person. For some reason her surname is spelled differently on various collaborations with Howe Gelb. Consequently sheās being seen as two different artists within Roon.
Evan, we appear not to have a metadata entity for āLonna Kellyā, at least not at the album level. Is this a TIDAL issue or a local one? Could a manual merge help here?
Thanks Joel, Iāll rename her in tags and leave it at that. Hereās the discogs entry: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1216804-Lonna-Kelley and here sheās billed as Kelly: https://www.amazon.com/Further-Standards-Howe-Lonna-Kelly/dp/B076DQZ57L/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1512163334&sr=1-1&keywords=Lonna+Kelly
whereas sheās billed as Kelley here:
