I’m a new user (about one month in) and still finding my way around Roon. My music library is stored on a Synology NAS that feeds a Roon ROCK. I’m early in the process of ripping my 1970s/80s album collection and storing the 192K-ripped files on the NAS.
When I search for a known album where there is a ripped LP and a ripped CD, both with the same title (in this case, the Beatles’ Abbey Road), only that last loaded version (I think) is displayed. Before I added the LP copy, only the CD version would show up when I searched “Abbey Road”. After adding the LP copy, only the LP copy would show in the search, but not the CD copy. Is that typical? Do I need to create unique names for duplicate album titles?
Here are some screenshots to make this clear: CD version
No, not necessarily. If you search for a specific album, you’ll be shown the ‘Top Result’ which is the highest resolution version. But if, for instance, you search for The Beatles as artist and select ‘View All Albums’ you’ll be presented with everything, including duplicates (as long as you have ‘Show hidden tracks & albums’ enabled).
