Describe the issue

I have created an album with my favorite songs, it has at this moment 1436 songs, the search by the name of the song inside the album is extremely slow.

Describe your network setup

Lan to 1Gb with switch to 1Gb

Most likely because real albums with 1436 songs are rare and this wasn’t a design goal. Maybe a playlist would be the better approach? (Though I’m not sure how fast the search in such a long playlist would be, but you could search album names, track names, artist names, etc.)

I’d say it’s likely also in a constant state of trying to identify the album and tracks which it can’t due to it not being a real album. It could easily be a large classical boxset that’s unidentifiable and would have same issues. Again this is another design decision, Roon likes to match albums to ones that exist and those that don’t it will try and match again and again and again and you can’t disable it .

Hi @JORGE_MERA

I’m a fellow music lover like @Suedkiez & @CrystalGipsy

I agree with both of their posts. I would urge you to add the whole albums, have Roon identify them and then create a playlist rather than an unidentifiable album.

I’m curious, what are you running Roon on?

Hello @JORGE_MERA,

Thank you for reaching Roon support!

It might be helpful to have the file(s) for testing on our end as well. Could you please upload them here and let us know?

This is the same as an issue previously reported, which was never resolved.

@JORGE_MERA, is the search faster when you do it in the Roon mobile app? If the search is much faster than on the desktop app, it would confirm that it is the same issue I linked.

You’re right, the Android app is fast, but the Windows version is slow.

The search function is fast on Android Roon, but slow on the Windows version.

The Android version of Roon is fast, only the Windows desktop version is slow, both configured to the same server.

The files are 59GB in size.

The Android version of Roon is fast, but the Windows desktop version is slow, even though both are configured to the same server.

Hi @Mr.Flibble, I don’t create a list because I share the files on a portable device (FiiO M15) that I use outside the home and when traveling so I don’t have to rely on the internet.

I use Roon on three devices:

Arcam AVR20 with KEF Q950 speakers and an SVS PB4000 subwoofer in a 7.1 setup, which I mainly use as a theater at home.

Kef LS50 Wireless II plus KC62

On the PC, an iFi Zen 3 DAC + iFi Zen CAN 3 and 2 headphones, Sennheiser HD 650 and HifiMAN Ananda Nano.

I’m just an enthusiast, not a professional, I don’t have the money for that, ha ha ha.

@vadim, this is clearly a problem in the Roon desktop apps (both Windows and Mac). The problem does not occur in the mobile apps (I tried on both Android and iOS).

You can reproduce the problem if you open any album with a large number of tracks. It doesn’t need to be a local album – it also occurs with streaming. The example I gave earlier is the box set album “Decca Sound: The Analogue Years 1954-1968”, which has about 300 tracks and is available on Qobuz and Tidal. If you open the album and type a search into the filter field, you will find that it works instantly in the mobile app but extremely slow in the desktop app.

Hello @mSpot,

Thank you for the update and clear reproduction steps.

We’ve discussed this with our senior QA and development teams. The team is investigating some possibilities here and, as soon as that investigation is complete, we’ll be sure to follow up ASAP.

You have our apologies for the trouble here, and we’ve greatly appreciated your patience as we continue investigating this tricky issue. We’ll be in touch as soon as we can.
