Description of the issue

Roon is identifying tracks as being mono mix when this is a stereo version of the album no other versions match to this.

If you prefer your local album’s metadata to roon you can “prefer file” metadata on an album by album basis. Unfortunately that doesn’t work very consistently so in order to get the result you want you may have to “prefer file” on a track by track basis.

But then it wont be identified?

My experience is usually not with track titles although it does happen on occassion. In any case I regularly unidentify albums if roon is not adding any value. Thousands of albums in my case.

In this case you shouldn’t have a problem. Maybe you will have to manually identify. I don’t have that album but after downloading it from Qobuz I just edited mono to stereo in the track titles with no consequence (tracks 1 and 2). You can just strip out the stereo/mono references altogether if you don’t like the clutter (track 3).

I already tried the manual identification it doesnt have the stereo version with same tracks. ill edit them and see if it remains identified.

Seems to have worked with no ill affects. Thanks @tripleCrotchet
