Cleaning Up Music Genres in Roon Library

Roon Software Discussion
1

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying for a while to find a way to delete (or at least edit?) unwanted music genres that have been imported into Roon from the tags on my tracks. It’s causing quite a bit of clutter in my library, with inconsistent spellings, odd names, and various syntax issues.
Is there any way to clean this up?

I considered manually cleaning up the tags in my local library, but with tens of thousands of tracks to review, I quickly gave up on that idea…
Thanks in advance!

In Roon’s Import settings, you could turn off the “Use genres extracted from file tags”?

Thank you! I did that, but it didn’t seem to work. Should I temporarily hide my library folders and then reactivate them?

I’m not sure about genres from file tags but in any case it’s impossible to delete genres that one created in Roon.

Ah, that’s what I was afraid of… Thanks for your response!
