I had missed the above referenced thread. Was there ever any confirmation about this? My commonsense interpretation of that quote is that any library edits will trigger an attempt by roon to identify unidentified albums in your library. Doesn’t look vague to me at all but of course it may not be what happens or needs qualification.
The reason I ask is that on occassion I deliberately unidentify, identified albums. This is mostly with Classical but also Pop/Rock as well. The main reasons are where roon misidentifies works with more than one catalogue number, gets the multi-part hierarchy wrong or gets the track sequence wrong. In these cases I find navigating the unidentified album with a few manually added tags a lot easier than the identified version. Of course, now I have forgotten which albums were deliberately unidentified and which couldn’t be identified because I never had the sense to add some kind of tag.
It never occurred to me that an edit of a single album could trigger a general back-ground library process.
