I'm having trouble adding music to my library

I'm having trouble loading CD files which ROON does recognise correctly and also unreleasded music files which will not appear in recognition databases - so the question is how do I get Roon to just read the folder and the tracks inside. I'm new to ROON and have been importing my CD library to a Nucleus device. The library was stored on itunes and prior to loading on to Nucleus I rationalised the folders and most of it has been fine and I've managed to fix the issues in Roon. I have 2 cd's by Tom Walker which Roon recognises but with the incorrect track listings and mixing the album titles (allmusic doesn't have the correct on the albums. I've tried various fixes and edits including renaming albums outwith Roon (using itunes to tag) and within Roon to try to get it to just read the album folder and the tracks inside but without success. Each iteration is now making things worse to the point where the albums were becoming more jumbled and now don't load. The other issue I have (which is essentially the same) is that my library has unreleased music which I want to load. For the unreleased music I grouped it into albums on itunes before loading the album folders. Roon missed and jumbled the tracks. I have managed to get one to work - but I've no idea why and haven't been able to repeat it.

I recommend following the guide to identify those problematic albums in Roon:
