Hi, I added a newly ripped CD to my ripped CD’s folder. In the folder view of Roon it appered like expected.
In the genre overview for new ripped CD’s it did not appear. Even after a forced san of the folder it did not appear!
It looks like a different mechanism is user for the genre overview. That adds up to several other experiences I’ve had.
Does it show up if you use genre filters on the albums page?
The genre overview is just adding in the filter but interesting to see if it’s different.
Hi @Adrie_Laan,
I wanted to check in on this thread and see if you were still having issues? I’d be curious to see @ged_hickman1’s note as well - what is the outcome when using the genre filters?
With that, could you provide the specific album in question, and the genre tags associated with it?
Lastly, what are your import settings set to?
Thanks!
No, in the album page the shows the same as the genbre page after filtering on genre.
Hi Benjamin,
My importsettings are this:
So: No Roon Metadata genres and use file information instead.
I expect Room to read the tags from my musicfiles on the NAS and adjust the genre like set in the music. Thus ignoring the genres that are defined in Roon. I prefer to use my own genres.
This has not worked well since I use Roon. For years now. I always have to correct the genres manually to get the genre view as intended. Just before answering this mail I did corrections.
What goes well now is that new albums appear and disappear instantly when moving to the Roon defined areas or deleting them in the area. With according metadata.
The first time reading the metadata is not the problem. But keeping up with the changes in the metadata (I make often) does not work well.
Hope this helps.
Yes, I’ve been moving around some music just yet, and Roon reacts perfect.
It’s just that there’s still a part with backlog of old genre data. Rereading the folders did not resolve this in the past , but I will check again.
After a rescan of all folders, I moved albums to other folders within the Roon datasource settings. Most of it was detected, but 3 out of 40 within the same folder/genre did not.
I also added a new folder with 62 new albums, 62 of them were detected and shown in the right genre.
Hi @Adrie_Laan,
Can you provide the specific albums and created genres with it? Are there other albums with the same genre that were successfully added?
I remeber one "Andreas Vollenweider - 1984 - White Winds ", but it’s already replaced. The albums in a folder all get the sanme genre, in this case it was “A&A AA Samen Luisteren”.
There are allways about 40 abums in this folder/genre. It’s ment to play when my my wife and I listen together. And every week about 10 albums will be new and 10 leave to to a “storage” folder. They will get the genre “A&A CD”, so I can play all our CD’s at once in a playlist if I want.
I’ve just added 6 albums and the all show up in the genre and in the folder.
I also moved 2 albums to “storage” and this goes well too… today.
Hey @Adrie_Laan,
Glad to hear things are functioning properly for you! We’ll need a fresh reproduction of the issue, let me know when it occurs again.
