LP called “The Record” was released today (31 March 2023).
Qobuz has the full record on its web player.
Roon only shows the four singles that were previously released.
I tried adding the album to my library (with the four songs) and deleting it but that didn’t enable the full album to appear.
I tried adding the album with the four songs and then doing Edit/Identify and when I do there is a 31 March version of the LP but the identifying the record as that version doesn’t get the full LP to display with all songs.
@Sloop_John_B Yes, what’s funny is if you add it (with the four songs) and then click Edit/Identify record, there is a version that was released today that has all the songs – but it won’t synch those into the database – it just matches the four that we previously released.
Per @Suedkiez, I bet it does resolve in a day, or so it’s just frustrating to have to listen to it via QoBuz (and admit to my wife that Roon is quirky).
So do differential sync. Or shoulder tap. Or feed. Or whatever. There are many established approaches for syncing large corpora with low latency.
As a user, I don’t particularly care about the architectural challenges that Roon has to overcome. It should be a fundamental behavior of the system that all content available in the underlying services (Qobuz and Tidal) is available in Roon at the time it becomes available in the base services. And while I appreciate that this forum is mostly driven by enthusiasts, it isn’t particularly helpful in my opinion to explain away Roon’s deficiencies as “architecturally hard”.
In my opinion, it’s a real problem that someone might have to wait a couple of days to be able to listen to a new release in Roon when that release is otherwise available on all of the major platforms.
Well I’m not an expert when it comes to this kind of stuff. As my daily job is driving around forklifts and do relevant logistics work. Quite different to how Roon handles Tidal/Qobuz updates
However, I don’t think a full update will be done in a few minutes. It probably takes awhile. Same probably goes with incremental updates.
I guess I’m more of a laid back person when it comes to this kind of stuff. If it didn’t make the list today, it will be there tomorrow.
What is particularly odd (and annoying) is that this boygenius release was the headline of the Qobuz email of weekly releases and it ain’t on Roon. Same thing happened last week on Friday (including the Qobuz headline email) with Lana Del Rey’s new release…it resolved at Roon on Saturday.
I wonder why making it a favourite in Qobuz does not drag it into Roon however, as this usually worked for me with all albums in a similar situation and it is mentioned in the quote from Roon that @Suedkiez quoted above.
