Copying metadata from one album version to another

Paul_Hermans · September 28, 2021, 12:48pm

The same album:

one digital album bought and available on local storage (NAS)
album as available from Qobuz

The one on the local storage has almost no metadata/credits, while the qobuz one is very complete.

Is there a way to copy these metadata from the one version to the other?

Many thanks for your suggestions.

Paul

It’s showing as unidentified which is why it doesn’t have any metadata i think. Run the identify routine in roon via edit on the album.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunatily I do not succeed in identifying the album. The list of potential matches does not contain the correct album.

Hey @Paul_Hermans

Roon can have some difficulty identifying albums in your local library if the accompanying metadata is sparse.

Here’s what you can do.

Click the ellipsis on the album page
Click edit
Click Identify album
If the correct selection doesn’t appear click None of these look right in the lower right hand corner
Type the album information in the search window
Click album the correct album
Click Save

@Jamie, Not resolved.

If I’m choosing the Qobuz version I can identify the album.

If I’m selecting my own purchased version on the NAS, I cannot identify the album. Not after having clicked None of these look right and typing the album info in the search box. I do not get the correct album.

So my situation stays the same, no metadata credits on my local version.
