Welcome this additional feature. It is indeed needed in some corner cases. One question although.
You mentioned:

Use the settings menu to select the columns you want to see

Is it possible to change the order of the columns. See currently track / time / album artist / artist / album/… Would like album artist and album next ot each other and artist next to track as consider that more natural order. See no option to drag and sort the order of columns.
I was happy as a Roon Deathtime member here in hell.
Since hell froze because of roon folder browsing, it’s really damn cold here.
If I had known that, I would have lived a decent life
I have had a few instances when I had added music that would somehow not show up in Home/Added. In those instances I used to use the Track view and filter Path appropriately to see how/where these files were catalogued. The file explorer is very useful to sort issues like these out.
I love now having folders. Its a big help in finding and fixing things in my music database. What I do not like seeing is the playlists. You can’t please em all.

Thank you for this functionality.
Please align the folder view play action just as other ‘Play actions customization’ via settings.
For sure i’ll skip some beats when I accidently press Play Now.
This one feature will cause me to keep my Roon subscription. I was considering canceling after the year is over because Amazon Music is not supported. This is exactly what I wanted for browsing and playing my ripped CD collection.
Not sure if I agree. User tags have always been a fallback option in case roon does not identify an album. In this case it may use the tags embedded in a file. Sometimes roon does, sometimes roon does not. But even if there are perfectly valid and correct user tags, roon would call such an album unidentified whatsoever. Because the user ain’t no valid source.
Also, adding tags in roon never saved these to the actual file, which is frustrating given the time spent on this. But then, roon was never meant to be a tagger.
I don’t know if identification plays a big role in this. I have quite a few (though not huge number) of albums that aren’t identified, but they have proper file tags and some edited metadata in Roon, and Roon works just fine with them in the old paradigm without having to rely on folders. The credits and crosslinks work, focus works, etc.
My point was more about relying more or less on the folder browser without this metadata in file tags or Roon edits. In this case, the traditional Roon paradigm wouldn’t work well. It’s true that you could already create the same issue with Roon user tags, but IMHO the folder browser invites this a bit more.
I am Using ROCK and IPad as Primary remote, after I transfer some new album(I may not listen to them immediately), later I found the album is missing some tracks, I don’t have Desktop or Laptop readily accessible to me, I can use folder view looking into the album folder to check all files are present or not before I have to open up PC to have further fix on missing tracks, that’s very useful for me.
There is usually a reason for having non-identified albums. The question is if the albums exist in roon´s database or if unidentified ones are mainly consisting of bootlegs and alike.
