This guy is not affiliated with Van Halen, the rock band…

Should be in Support > Metadata I think, @joel may be able to tell them

Roon uses multiple sources for metadata, and I think the David Roth attribution may be coming from somewhere else, not TiVo. Qobuz also uses TiVo, and its credits for the Van Halen 1978 album doesn’t include David Roth.

Thank you Carl, but my business deal is with Roon. And as a customer, I see no reason to go to any sub-contractors of my business partner.

It is a TiVo issue as AllMusic, which uses TiVo, also shows David Roth as being credited on a number of VH releases. As the thread has been moved to metadata support then hopefully the change request will be put in.

And myself personally I would still recommend you file it with Tivo/Allmusic.
I have had to do the same many times, but it is of course up to you, I found metadata got resolved faster this way.

Appears that TiVo is indeed the source.

There is a “submit corrections” link at the bottom of that page.

Hi @Mikael_Ollars. Thanks for the report; I’ve submitted a request to TiVo to get this fixed.
