Description of Issue

Situation: I am exploring new music, and listens to a song which I want to tag. For instance I have a tag called “Tender piano”. The tag option does not appear when selecting the three dots. It does appear when I want to tag a song that is already in my library. But with a new song, it involves a lot of effort - I have to import it to the library; close Roon; open it up again; find the song that now is listed in the library, and only THEN can I assign it to the tag.

Is this by design, or do I need to correct some setting in Roon? (praying that it is not by design!).
thanks
Jesper

By design. You cannot tag anything until it is in your library and thereby has a database entry to attach the tag to.

Thanks, ok.
I should maybe use playlists for this purpose instead then.

thanks again

OK, but be aware that if you ever want to Export a playlist, only locally stored files will be included.
