Hi, I plan to purchase Roon to use in a new PC build to use with HQP outputting to NAA. So, I have been reading up on the software.
Based on the FAQ here: How to ensure multi-disc sets and box sets are indentified properly? Roon seems to treat multiple disc sets generically and in an archaic manner.
It is it possible to force Roon to recognize and properly display the file structure and tagging I have used with my files?
Examples:
For certain double-albums I have manually re-numbered and re-named the files and placed all the files in one folder.
Linda Ronstadt/
'Round Midnight with Nelson Riddle…/
01 Linda Ronstadt - What’s New.flac
…
32 Linda Ronstadt - Straigten up and Fly Right.flac
For certain box sets, I have treated each disc within the set as a separate album based on subject or name as it appears on the packaging.
Van Morrison/
Moondance (Deluxe Edition) (192kHz-24Bit)
Moondance (Deluxe Edition-More Sessions)
Moondance (Deluxe Edition-Sessions, Alternates & Mixes)
Moondance (Deluxe Edition-The Sessions)
The above are just two examples of the way I treat multi-disc sets. Depending on the type of music, or the size of the set, I will treat each differently.
The above customized method seems to conflict with the way Roon wants to see a folder for a multi-album set.
I usually manually re-structure, and tag my files using dbPoweramp.
Also, if a parent folder is “Watched”, can I assume all sub-folders will be updated in the Roon database if I make changes (both to the file structure on the drive or metadata tags) after I have already imported the files?
Thanks.
