I converted my Local WAV-Files to FLAC. But when I switch to the FLAC versions, all my metadata edits are lost

I have found a great workaround for this, so the Problem is now solved!

I’m interested, care to share it?

Hi Carl, of course:

For anybody who has the same Problem:
Go to an album in Roon where you have changed the Track titles:

• Select all of the Tracks
• Click the three dots near the Selection menu, right next to the “Play Now” button.
• Select Export > Soundiiz > Save to Desktop
• Open the CSV-File with Excel
• Delete D-Column & The first row.
• Save the File.
• Open your Files with Mp3tag
• Click Convert > Text File - Tag
• Open your CSV-File
• Use this as your Format String:
  %title%;%artist%;%album%

Mp3tag has a good Help Article for this: Import Tags from Text Files

This Method obviously only Works with Local Files.

Edit: I forgot one thing: Don’t worry if Excel displays some Characters in your Track titles wrong: That is most likely* because Roon is exporting the CSV in UTF-8 while Excel is reading it in ANSI. Mp3tag will read it correctly.

*But I can’t say that for sure and I don’t know if it’s true.

@Carl I already was typing this when you asked.
