Roon is a great application for playing your music, but SongKongs totally automated music tagging features can make it even better, and like Roon we really care about metadata. Roon cannot always identify all your music, especially if your music includes partial albums or invalid metadata.
Using SongKong on your music library:
Improves the metadata to allow Roon to identify albums it could not previously
Can also reorganize folder structure to put split albums back into one album = one folder to help Roon identify.
Adds additional metadata for albums that Roon could identify but has limited information
Adds metadata for albums that Roon still cannot identify so they display better in Roon
Available for most platforms, with the free SongKong Lite version you can run a status report on your metadata, and fix your metadata in preview only mode so you can see exactly what SongKong can do with a pro license. Then for a limited period we are offering Roon customers a 20% discount on SongKong Pro and SongKong for Melco, just use discount code roonpromay at checkout.
Using acoustid in isolation only provides song rather than album matching, i.e usually identifies right song but not neccessarily right album . Songkong does use acoustid, but also any existing metadata and folder structure, and groups songs only allowing an album match if all songs in grouping could be matched to same album
It’s a “stand-alone” application, download and install on your NUC. When you run the application you can configure it to work on the folders containing your music files. It initially operates in preview mode allowing you to check results before you physically change your files.
Just drag n drop and it looks up and embeds into a Tag “Lyrics” , I think you must have that Tag in your set for it to work. You can do albums in bulk . I did my whole Rock collection (1000 ish) in a couple of days , mainly “waiting”
Is SongKong able to add track-level musician credits according to Roon specifications? I’m especially interested in this feature for Jazz. Anyone have experience?
