Greetings to you BlackJack & thank you for taking the time to provide a detailed response.
I would like to say that as per my initial post I’m only a user of less than 48 hours I believe it is now. So, on that basis, whilst I may not have all the correct Roon terminology, I did try to explain the issue as best as I could. No doubt in the future, when I have a better grasp of Roon & its functionality I’ll be able to provide better technical explanations.
Blockquote BlackJack A thorough and understandable description of the issue you’re facing would be of great help to accomplish that.
As per above I did my best - thanks.
Blockquote BlackJack While you initially were complaining about missing album covers, you later on just showing the artist library. In your example we can clearly see the entry for Anouar Brahem (7 Albums) that has a picture and the following pictures detailing this entry, showing all the 7 associated albums – all with cover art.
Firstly, I was not complaining, I was raising an issue & looking for some assistance with solving the problem. Secondly, as I stated ‘roughly’ 20% (and it seems more when I scroll through are greyed out, yet when I click on the greyed-out album all the album art is there. So yes, as I stated you can see the pictures detailing the entry.
If I’m using the incorrect terminology, I do apologise, but the screenshots do show what I was trying to explain.
Blockquote BlackJack Maybe Roon is not like any other music player you have used before. The documentation for Roon can be found here and is good starting point for new users.
Great - thanks. Yes, I have read the documentation. Notwithstanding, as a new user, some of it is rather difficult to understand. I am not a computer expert.

While this is a nice story, Roon is generally not interested in a users folder structure and please don’t ask for folder based browsing – it just won’t happen.
I have no idea what would lead you to such a conclusion. Why would I ask the developers here for anything? I was not telling a story, I was trying to the best of my ability to explain things. Who knows perhaps the way I stored my files may have created some sort of issues for Roon. Hence, I provided a detailed description - there were no stories.
Blockquote BlackJack As you were complaining about missing pictures (album covers) and showing us the artists browser, should you have placed artist pictures in your folders and expect Roon to show them – that’s not the case. You have to import missing artist pictures manually ( 3-dots menu > Edit > Add Image
). See also this article about editing in Roon.
‘Complaining’ - there’s that word again. Complaining is typically about expressing dissatisfaction and nowhere through this thread have I expressed dissatisfaction. As for the ‘artist browser’ it’s the same if I’d have shown you the album browser - so many grey-out. However, given I’m not an expert or experienced user I did not and still do not understand what would be the difference.
I will try as per your suggestion to import pictures manually. However, I’m still uncertain why some show & others do not.
Blockquote BlackJack Should this post already have answered your question please tell so. If not, please try to give a more detailed and/or less misleading description of your issue.
I do not know at the time of this response if you’ve answered my question (not complaints). I did try to give a detailed description - you’ve literally torn it to shreds and claim it to be misleading. I’m still none the wiser why you’d say that. I was not trying to be misleading in any way.
Again, I appreciate the time you’ve spent here Blackjack. Unfortunately, as you can see from my response, I’m not overly sure if you were trying to make fun of me for being a new user & not describing things to your way of thinking or Roon understanding.
Perhaps English is not your first language and I have misunderstood your good intent.
If that is the case, I sincerely apologise to you.
Thank you!
