what does the metadata in the file tags look like? Since using Roon I have had to do a lot of cleaning up of bad or incomplete tag data to get everything looking as it should.
@Randall_Trowbridge, from within Roon you can inspect the embedded metadata for a particular track by doing the following:
Long press/ctrl-click on the track and then click on the “three dots” item in the bar that appears. Select “View File Info…” from the pop-up menu. In the resultant dialog, select “File Tags.”
That screen displays attribute data in general, but it doesn’t specify whether it came from tags. I use xACT to edit tags:
There is no embedded metadata/tags in either case.
Previously I was using Audirvana which can determine Artist/Album from the folder/directory structure, without metadata and I am under the impression Roon can do this as well and that it is doing it in the first case and not the second.
