I have many music tracks each of which is listed as associated with an album. This results in for example, eleven listings of the same album, one for each music track. Is there a command or a way to consolidate all of the separate listings of an album into one listing containing all of the tracks on an album?
Normally this should not happen. Check that the file tags in the files are correct, e.g., same album name, same primary artist or album artist, correct (and not duplicated) track numbers.
In any case, you can merge the partial albums in Roon:
- Multi-select the partial albums
- Click the (…) button at the top of the Roon view to open the menu, then click Edit
- In the Edit window, click the Merge option
This will always merge the albums, but it’s nevertheless preferable that the file tags are correct.

Thanks. That’s very helpful. A couple of further questions 1) How do I multi-select partial albums? What I have are many
songs each shown as the same album in the album listing.
The documentation page posted by @Geoff_Coupe gives you the basics but it’s not complete (at least it wasn’t when I last looked). I explained additional options in this post some time ago:
I’m using a Mac Studio. When I right click on an album, nothing happens. If I hold down the control button it will highlight that song/album Is that the best way on a Mac to select?
Depends on how you configured mouse or trackpad. macOS is quite flexible in this regard. I forgot what the defaults are on Mac.
You can also long-click in Roon to start the multi-select process.
To @Ron_Compton, I recommend you look into one of these two tagging programs to review your file metadata and reduce the chances of this all happening:
