What are you using to rip the CDs? And what is the CD set? I’m not seeing a 3-CD set listed in Vollenweider’s Discography…

I am using Nucleus… this CD set contains (1) Behind the Gardens (2) Caverna Magica (3) White Winds. Would be nice to have Roon recognize this set…

Ah - as I said a couple of days ago, the CD ripping function in RoonOS (used in the Nucleus) does not handle box sets at all well. See:

How to Rip CDs to Internal Storage on NUC with Roon Core (ref#56EPVH)

Hello @janusz.kossakowski,

Sorry for the confusion here. The CD ripping feature in Roon OS (used by Nucleus) is designed for standard audio CDs, and we can’t guarantee reliable results for every disc or multi-disc set.

As documented here:

Roon OS CDROM

Roon OS supports Audio CDs, but some discs are less reliable, including:

• CDs that contain a data section
• CD-R / CD-RW discs (especially older ones)
• Discs that don’t strictly follow Red Book audio CD standards

Box sets and multi-disc releases often use slightly different disc layouts or metadata, which can lead to:

• Ripping stalls (like your CD1 stopping at track 9)
• Missing or incorrect album/track metadata (like on CD2)

For these kinds of releases, the recommended workflow is:

Rip the CDs on a computer (using software like dBpoweramp, XLD, or Exact Audio Copy), then
copy the resulting music files into your Nucleus storage so Roon can import and identify them normally.

That gives you much better accuracy, error handling, and metadata than the built-in ripper can provide for complex sets.
