When I rip CDs via Rock (super slick, btw, much appreciated) they get loaded into Roon associated with artist/album/track/etc. metadata, but the files themselves remain generically named things like “CD-Ripped-2020-03-03” and “track10.flac”. I’d love to be to copy the files over to an external drive for use on an Echobox or other DAP (and for backup purposes), but the only way I can figure out how to interlace the metadata and the files is to export every ripped CD from Roon (which crashes Roon on both of my Macs). It seems like there ought to be a way to have Roon clean up the ripped folders, but if there is I can’t find it.
I guess my workaround is going to be to finish ripping my discs and then export everything to a separate location so that I can reload my music into an order, but I’m hoping there’s something easy and obvious I’m missing somewhere.
This isn’t right. If this is happening, I suggest that you raise it in the Support category of the forum for the support team to take a look at the diagnostics.
Exporting your files to a separate location is the designed method of having Roon integrate basic metadata and renaming ripped files and folders that were created using the ripping function in ROCK and the Nucleus.
I rip via Rock then just edit the metadata on them using mp3tag afterwards takes a minute. It works and simple and does not upset anything. My files are backed up overnight to my NAS for other apps to pick them up.
