James Taylor the British acid jazz pioneer is all mixed up with James Taylor, the American singer songwriter.
Hi guys, I have 3 albums from the band Bliss. However, in Roon I have a listing for 2 different Bliss artists. The albums âQuiet Lettersâ and âNo One Built This Momentâ are grouped together but the third album âA Hundred Thousand Angelsâ is listed under a different Bliss. First question, is there a way for me to manually group all these albums the same artists? Second question, why is this happening?
I am having an issue with some audiobooks, which I have also added in Roon. (All albums were successfully identified.)
The artist (called âDie Dr3iâ) shows up 3 times.
The artist âDie Dr3iâ with 2 albums list the same albums.
The albums are
In the identification process the artist is also falsely labeled as âDie drei !!!â and in the album view the artist is displayed twice:
I have an album by The James Taylor Quarter which is also being recognized as an album by James Taylor. The album review is correct but it looks like from the album match that this album artist is also listed as another James Taylor is its confusing it with the James Taylor we all know and love. I would prefer not to unlink the album as the summary and meta data are correct. Any way I can somehow unlink James Taylor but keep James Taylor Quartet? You can see from the second screenshot this album being also listed under James Taylor.
Two different artists called Riverside. The album Newspeak by (I think) a Canadian band called Riverside, is listed as a release by the Polish band of the same name. This is a Tidal release, not sure how much control Roon has over Tidalâs metadata, but I wanted to point it out. Thanks!
All issues now are fixed (thanks!) except for that band picture above the biography. It still shows the US band, not the German band of the same name âIdealâ:
This post is feedback on the artist equivalence issue reported earlier:
The artist Scumfrog is wrongly associated with this version of DBâs Loving the Alien. There is a separate House remix from 2002, but there is no connection between the two versions.
Reggae artist Luciano is mixed up with Swiss/Chilean DJ Luciano, apparently via the âakaâ path.
I have the album âBlind Behaviourâ from Lucien-N-Luciano (DJ) which is credited to Lucien-N-Luciano aka Lucien.
The album âTribute to the Sunâ is from Lucien, aka for Lucien-N-Luciano. However, this album is credited to the Reggae artist.
I may have found the motherlode of artist equivalence issues:
Looking at new indie-folk band Joseph gives me:
which is correct. But their album discography is showing as:
Only the one I added to my library is theirs. There are 10 other albums under artists with the same name, and by my reckoning itâs a least 6 discrete bands. Sort that lot out 
Alternative Band âMoneyâ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_(band)#Discography)
have a bunch of other albums and singles mixed in with theirs from another band/singer.
âWireâ â the english band â has a bunch of albums by some other band named âWireâ in their listâŚ
Experimental electronica band, Darkside https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkside_(band)
Is mixed with at least two other artists sharing the same or similar (The Darkside) name.
I have noticed some oddities with Little Steven (Steven van Zandt, Miami Steve). I have a page for him in my artist list that comes from the album âUnpluggedâ (with Southside Johnny). This page does list web links, but otherwise thereâs no artist description, no related artists, other albums he appeared on, etc.
In the artist entry for âBruce Springsteen & The E Street Bandâ, Little Steven is also linked as a âMemberâ, but it takes me to a different âLittle Stevenâ page. Here there is an artist description and a link back to the E Street Band, but the âUnpluggedâ album isnât listed here. (I donât have any of his solo CDs ripped yet, still on the to-do stack, so I donât know where they would be listed âŚ)
To add to the confusion, if I click on e.g. Springsteenâs âLive 1975-85â and there on âCreditsâ, there are two entries for him, âSteve VanZandtâ and âSteven Van Zandtâ. Both go to yet again different artist pages that list a slightly different list of Springsteen albums he appeared on, but only the latter page seems to be the âmost completeâ artist page, but here the âUnpluggedâ album isnât listed either.
On the artist page of âJoe Jacksonâ are also albums of âRanking Joeâ
âMarcia Ballâ is mixed with âMarcia J. Ballâ. Two total different artists.
I have several albums by the Brazilian artist Maysa. However, Roon confuses her with the Baltimore-born artist Maysa Leak. Strangely, when I click on the âMaysa Leakâ hyperlink in the bio that shows on my Maysa artist page, it takes me to a page for âMaysaâ that has the correct biography. One of my Maysa albums shows up on both pages, but most show up on the page with the wrong biography. Both artist pages have the picture of the wrong Maysa. Under Tidal albums, a mix of albums from both Maysas show up on the page for the Baltimore Maysa, and only the albums for the Baltimore-Maysa show up on the page with the correct bio.
I seem to have two Norwegian groups, âa-haâ and âa - haâ.
Two Jeff Parkers are currently lumped, the member of Tortoise and a mandolinist.
