I would like to revive this. I recently exported my albums to Excel for the first time, with the specific goal of having a spreadsheet to see what releases I was missing from a certain label. Well, no label info available. I’m fine with the current option remaining as a default, but so much of the power of Roon is in the metadata. It would be a huge help to export:
Record label/publisher
Catalog number
I’m sure a case can be made for other fields (file path? Imagine using a script or batch renaming utility to rename your folders to Artist - Album (year) [format] [catalog #] without having to export the whole collection from Roon). Chime in with yours.
Well the Catalog Number and the Product Code (as one or both will hold the barcode number from the CD)
I have a database of my music and videos, and it is indexed by the Barcode number. It would make life so much easier if these were in the Excel export too - I could make direct matches so my process would be: rip to Roon, export to Excel, and then update my database.
The db is on the phone - I use it to answer the “have I already got this?” question when browsing in stores/record fairs.
Thanks
the Excel export is very basic. There is no option in Roon to get an overview over release dates. A more detailed Excel export would solve this problem.
