I agree with all of the above, have requested this 3 years ago (and have mentioned it a number of times since) and remain very keen on improvements to box set handling and the ability to group albums in similar ways:
Lots of compilations have both disc number and disc name (e.g. “Disc 1 - beach; Disc 2 - club”).
Roon seems able to sort albums by disc number, but I see no option to include the disc name. I have a tag in all my music files called DISCNAME which is populated with the disc name if there is one. Would be great to have this functionality.
Thanks
There’s been a lot of talk regarding better handling of box sets. I’d just like to add ‘series’ to this theme as well.
For example, there are many CDs that are released separately as a series though are not necessarily part of any boxed set. It would be good for Roon to allow the user to group these together as a series, in a simlar way to the box sets. So when browsing in album mode or on the artists’ page, the series (or box set) would appear as one item - which when clicked, shows all the al…
And (see items 7 & 8:
I decided to make a list of my feature requests which are still outstanding. I realise that this may be duplicating some individual posts I have already made in the request section - but I thought that it would be useful to list the requests I still have, in my order of importance - at least it will be useful for me to remind me what I’m still looking for
Also relevant:
I have a large-ish music collection (~5500 discs), all inside Roon. Quite a few of these are inside large box sets (~100 discs in 1 set). Roon detects these box sets for me with no problem. But the GUI for browsing and discovering music in those box sets is very cumbersome.
Here is what I see for my box set for Yo-Yo Ma’s 30 Years Outside the Box:

Hmmmm. I have no idea which music is on which disc (unless I dig out my physical box and its liner notes). I usually end up randomly clic…
Hi,
I have several CD box sets where every CD in the box has a different cover.
At the moment it seems like there is only one cover possible for all CDs.
A solution where I can put a cover for every CD (eg Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3) would be really great.
Will this be possible code and data-model wise?
The pictures are in my tags, so discnumber 1 of totaldiscs 3 has a different picture than discnumber 2 of totaldiscs 3
It would be nice to see the metadata for individual albums that are now sold as boxed sets.
I suppose this happens often with older albums, but look at Haitink’s recent Beethoven cycle. The CD’s were individually sold, and a few months later they appeared as a box.
I’m a new lifetime subscriber sono let’s start with feature requests!!
Is it possible to have multiple album covers within a box set? For example, I have the Beatles Mono box set. The entire set has the same album cover, even though all the different albums are contained within. It would be great to have the box with a the cover of the box set, then when clicking on each album within the set, each album has its own cover.
Is this possible?
