Extracting Artist metadata from iTunes data

Support Metadata
1

Roon lets you choose which metadata to use from Roon’s own database or from the local data, iTunes in my case.
Maybe I am wrong, but I have the impression that earlier it was possible to also use the Artist metadata (NOT the Album Artist) from local data. In any case, now it is not possible. Roon’s data are relatively complete in certain genres and the last decade or so, but metadata of earlier recordings (70s, 80s) are missing.
How can I make Roon extract the artists per track from my iTunes data base?

Hi @WKW,

Can you share an example of what you’re seeing here? Here’s what we need to see:

  1. A screenshot of the album in Roon
  2. A screenshot of the file tags that you’re not seeing in Roon
  3. A screenshot of your import settings in Settings > Library

Hi @WKW,

Would you mind sharing this album with us so we can take a look? Ideally you can share this via a shared Dropbox link or another file sharing service link, but if you don’t have access to one just let us know!

That’s a purchased Qobuz album, which should probably not be shared, I assume.

Hi @WKW,

If you share this via a private message it will not be publicly available. We would use this media for testing purposes and then remove it.
