Managing 5 discs and 50 tracks of mix of artists is so painful especially your hit is almost empty information, how can I import the file name into meaningful information that ROON can understand?

Well, a couple of things: first, WAV file tagging is notoriously bad, second, your files donāt appear to have been tagged, third, the filenames are a bit cryptic as well! Your downloaded files are going to need a bit of work before presenting to Roon. Iām unfortunately no classical expert, but I thing youāre going to need an external program to fix the tags, there are some tips here: File Tag Best Practice.
The wav file have no tagging inside at all, I input disc number and track number, cover image, and album name myself, in order the Roon can get matching result but the frustration is the matching from ROON itself have no track titles information to fill in the remaining gap, if I input 50 titles myself manually so getting Roon for what?
Yes, it can be a tiresome task, but your beef is with Pentatonemusic (or their supplier), who didnāt bother tagging the files in the first place. Roons job is to take those tags and āenhanceā them, but as the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out. Not Roons fault.
Have a look at SongKong, which is an automatic tagging program, it may be able to help.
I have the same challenge ā¦ WAV files are audio focused (more information than FLAC etc) so the reward is in the right system with the right recordings they sound better - The down side is they arenāt even remotely metadata friendly - I have a few thousand WAV files and ROON is challenged but to be fair most systems are challenged with WAV files - I keystroke in any missing info and uploiad missing image files ā¦ it is a cumbersome task but if you do it while playing your tracks eventually it will workout
If you want a more friendly WAV file system Auralic does the best job ā¦ the lightning app is a great interface, sound quality and performance are flawless and built like a tank ā¦ also more than double the price of a Nucleus
Thatās wrong. FLAC compressed WAV files, after being decompressed during reproduction, are exactly identical to the original WAV file.
And thatās a myth, perpetuated by those who allow themselves be convinced that the small computing effort of decompressing FLAC files will in any way impact sound reproduction.
Itās true, though, that WAV files pose challenging limitations with regard to tagging and should therefore be avoided.
Donāt want to hijack the thread but compressing a file removes information and once it is removed you canāt put it back - The plus side of FLAC is the files have less information than the original source so they are smaller and take up less space ā¦ the down side is that they have less information - The plus side of WAV files are they are not compressed so all the original information is there ā¦ the down side is they are 30% larger than a file ripped in FLAC
The debate is does that missing 30% make a difference and that will depend on your playback system and the recording quality of the original file - In say a stock car stereo or a pair of ear buds most likely no difference but in the right system with the right files it is an audible difference ā¦ especially using quality headphones ( Sennheiser HD )
That said with the advent of 24 bit files (which because of their huge size are mostly FLAC) and DSD we will soon be able to play in a whole new realm ā¦ some day they will just insert a chip directly into our brains
You are spreading misinformation. Stop it. You have a poor understanding of information theory and lossless compression. FLAC is lossless. That is the L in FLAC. A WAV file and a FLAC file from the same source contain the same information. This is no different from a TXT file and a ZIP file from the same source.
Nor sure if you are trolling or just foolish. Either way posting on a forum with experts on it, when you spout gibberish, probably isnāt the wisest decision.
I was trying to send a positive word to the original OP and looks like I hit a sensitive nerve but trying to pass confidence for knowledge doesnāt help anyone
For anyone who loves music more than internet opinions try a simple test for yourself:
1 - Rip the file of your choice into both WAV and FLAC -The WAV file will be much larger ā¦ more available information to process - A measurable fact
2 - Play the FLAC file back - If it is going to āunzipā it should get larger but it wonāt ā¦ playback will only reproduce the information available - Itās the laws of physics
3 - Then try both files in your system to see which one your ears prefers ā¦ WAV and FLAC are both fine and all that matters is what works best in your world
You are responding to a thread that had been inactive for 3 years. Whatever question the OP had has long been sorted out. Please have a purpose before resurrecting such an old thread.
Secondly, the OP makes no mention of FLAC vs WAV, so your comment and the following posts are off topic. As such, I am closing this thread.
