I run a headless NUC (RoonServer) with a MacBook Pro as remote. When I first started with this configuration, I was using Orgainised folders because I download music on my MacBook pro and it was just so convenient to dump files onto the remote to add music. But as I learned more, and collected advic…

Orgainised folders has gone with 1.3.

Interesting–thanks. Is there more information about this somewhere?

Don’t know but it has been signaled in various threads for ages as well as post 1.3 threads. I am sure you can search for them if you want to know more but the general reason was managed folders had the potential to do more harm than good. As an aside from memory they were “organized” folders not “…

did also read that some people had a “small” organized folder where they dropped new tracks to be organized before they move them to their watched folder; I personally did not yet do that (using ROON just for 1 week) but that is something I was plannimg to do therefore I would appreciate if somethi…

One of the challenges I face when using Roon is keeping my library organized. I’ve got a lot of classical music and jazz, so there are often questions as to the most appropriate organization: Who should I consider to be the artist when setting up the file structure–Horowitz or Brahms (e.g.)?

thx for pointing me to “focus”, seems to be a very powerful function! never tried organized folders myself, but would have expected that it organizes a bunch of tracks, albums and composers in a way, that afterwards the directory hierarchy, the file names and the MP3-tags are meaningful …

This is a central concept in Roon: don’t use the folder/directory structure for navigating your library, use the metadata features. Below is something I wrote in a separate thread (and others dating back to 2015). Many of us (and the Roon team) resist the folder concept and this is part of a prevai…
