Missy Mazzolis is not available on Roon; why?

Welcome to the Roon community, @Christoph_Linzbach.

With a Qobuz subscription, I see Missy Mazzoli in Roon. Double-check your spelling.

Do you subscribe to a streaming service or havr any of her releases in your library?

I can see 7 releases featuring her compositions in my Qobuz listing (I am currently in France so this may depend on where you are located). I can also recommend her latest album “Dark with Excessive Bright” - fantastic edgy violin playing and audiophile sound.

If you type “Missy Mazzolis” into the search, it is misspelled and Roon displays “No results found”. However, if you then press the Enter key, Roon performs a full search including similar names and it does find Missy Mazzoli (although she appears only under Artists, not under Composers).

So Roon’s search interface is simply badly designed. If you see “No results found”, it is natural to give up at that point — there is no hint that you can press Enter for a more complete search.

Roon can easily fix this and create a better experience by changing the message and wording.

Similar results in Tidal, I don’t have Qobuz

Tidal makes a pigs ear of the track listing on ‘Dark’…
But I did enjoy listening to it! Thanks @Gimlet
