Hey @Jeff_C – sadly, I think some of these tagging decisions are definitely going to affect the quality of your identifications in Roon.
If we’re not able to look at, say, 70 files and say “ok, 1-16 is disc one, 17-33 is disc two, etc”, then you’re unlikely to automatically get the kind of extended metadata that makes Roon unique.
If you add your collection as a watched folder, you should be able to get a sense of what works and what doesn’t. For example, with the aforementioned 70 track example, you can go in and edit the tags and you should see better metadata as soon as Roon’s directory scanning notices the change and makes the correct ID. The hit in our database should happen automatically.
Alternatively, if you have the 70 tracks showing up as a single disc, you may be able to make the match manually in Roon, by clicking the little pencil on the albums screen and choosing Identify Album. Obviously, this isn’t as nice as an automatic match. Whether it’s nicer than editing all the tags is up to you.
I’d also suggest reading through @jeremiah’s post here.
Thanks for the question @Jeff_C – let us know if any other questions come up.
