Browse by folder structure - Why ever not? It can’t be that hard? [Not on the roadmap]

Roon Labs will never include something like browsing after a folder structure. That was the answer I got about a year ago. But that is not really bad. Because with time you get along well with the possibilities offered.

Nevertheless, I have developed a simple workaround for me that roughly matches my folder structure.

Here’s a screenshot how my folder structure look s like:

Basically, I’ve structured by genre, followed by artists and albums. My workaround is that I assign all albums of a genre to a TAG. Example: All albums within my folder structure “Folk-Rock” will be tagged with the “Folk-Rock” TAG. Granted, that was not a little work. But it makes things much easier (for me). Because all I have to do is click on “Folk-Rock” to have all folk-rock albums, as stored in my folder structure, in front of me to choose from.

As a result, I get all the folk-rock albums to choose from. Or Electronic, Classical, Pop …
