Description Of Issue
I would like to know how to switch between “my tags”and “shared tags’.
Is there kind of Roon library with (suggested) tags?
Adding “ROONALBUMTAG” or “ROONTRACKTAG” seems not to be possible in Foobar2K
And how can it be that when clicking on “Focus on similar” on an album without any (visible) tag, Roon tells me I should try to remove Focus criteria?
Firstly you must differentiate between FLAC Tags and Roon Tags
FLAC/MP3 tags are a way of storing metadata within the file
Roon tags are a way of creating a Collection of say albums, you create a Tag say MyBox then add albums to it
You will need a Tagger that supports Custom Tags , I use my JRiver setup but I think MP3Tag supports them, that’s free
You do any file tag changes outside of Roon. ROONALBUMTAG is useful for box sets, it creates Roon Tags automatically on import
Eg if you import a 10 Album/CD box , before you do set ROONALBUMTAG to MyBox externally , as you import your 10 box, the tag is created and the 10 albums are added to it
Roon Tags are fixed, if you want to add moe it’s manual
Bookmarks on the other hand are dynamic , you set a Rule eg Composer = Beethoven using the Focus Tool , after that any new albums obeying that rule added next time you open that bookmark
Have a look in the knowledge base
Clear as mud
The Focus things is Roon Speak for can’t find a match !
EDIT
Tag Scanner does allow Custom Tags , I can’t see how MP3Tag does it, if it does
