This is a great compromise, Martin. Thank you for taking the time to suggest it.
Regrettably, the sorting is still a bit off. For example, an album titled “¡Hello Friends!” appears at the beginning of the library instead of appearing with the albums the begin with “H.” Also, compilations that begin with the article “A” appear at the beginning of the list of the compilations alphabetized by “A” instead of being alphabetized by the word following the article, e.g., “A Winter’s Solstice” is being alphabetized by “A” instead of “Winter.” (Compilations that begin with the article “The” seem to be alphabetized correctly.)
All of these mis-sorted albums were tagged manually in iTunes/Apple Music with the articles moved to the end of the album title in the “album, sort as” field (or in the case of ¡Hello Friends!, with the inverted exclamation point omitted). Is it possible to force Roon to read the “album, sort as” tag data? I tried rescanning these albums, but nothing changed.
Thank you again for all of your help.
