I have too many James Brown’s

We’re seeing this too, and we’re investigating.

Note that seeing multiple James Browns isn’t a bug in and of itself – Roon is built to support multiple artists with the same name, so there are times when we would expect to return two people with the same name (like Bill Evans vs Bill Evans).

We do a lot of work to ensure that every credit links back to the right person, but our metadata updates regularly, and mistakes are possible. I’m looking into whether this is a metadata issue, a search issue, or both – obviously a number of the results in this thread are not right.

We’re on it – stand by guys.


Even in @tripleCrotchet’s screenshot above (which has some very bad results, clearly), the answer is generally going to be “click the James Brown top result” – or is there James Brown content you’re expecting to find in Roon that you don’t get when you click that link?
