Discogs as metadata source

[Fernando_Pereira]

I just posted a recent specific case elsewhere:

Unidentified album with excellent Discogs metadata

I’ve just acquired the album below, which has very detailed metadata on Discogs: However, Roon can’t find it, even with extensive tweaking of the search fields. This is unfortunate, because the album’s label, Clean Feed, seems to upload very detailed metadata to Discogs:

It’s not that I care about Discogs per se, but having no access to metadata for a very active independent label with 100s of albums is kind of sad. More broadly, what could Roon do to bring more independent labels into its metadata stream? Even when some metadata is available on Roon for many of the independent labels I buy from, it requires messing around with search fields to find it, and it is sorely incomplete. Very recent examples with very minimal or no metadata, not automatically identified (I have lots more):

• Ganymede, Matt Brewer, Criss Cross Jazz
• In the Shadow of a Cloud, Yelena Eckemoff Quintet, L & H Production
• Desert, Yelena Eckemoff, L & H Production
• Terrible Animals, Lage Lund, Criss Cross Jazz
• Outliers, Stephan Crump Rosetta Trio, Papillon Sounds (via Bandcamp)
• Shamania, Marilyn Mazur, Rare Noise Records
