Very strange. When sorting my library newest albums first I see a large batch, 50 or so albums, that are not my additions. How could someone else’s music appear on my server?
Welcome to the Roon community, @Richard_Wurzelbacher.
If these are Qobuz or TIDAL releases, then these are added to your library when they are marked favourite in the respective streaming apps.
This can occur when you or another family adds favourites outside of Roon, or when your streaming account is compromised.
If you can rule out the first, then reset your streaming service password. You’ll need to disconnect and reconnect the service in Roon.
Thanks for the reply. The ghost albums came in through Qobuz, and yes perhaps the password was compromised so I changed it. Oddly the same albums do not appear in my Qobuz library.
In this case, it sounds like it’s still the Qobuz problem of accounts getting mixed up, which doesn’t seem to have been fixed for everyone. See here and note the links to the staff posts from the first post of the thread:

There are several threads about this problem. I have tried almost all the proposed fixes. Log out of Roon. Log out of Qobuz. Log out of Qobuz and then log out of Roon I am very tired of having to maneuver through dozens of albums just to see what I have marked as favorite. No I don’t like Madonna. No I don’t like soundtracks. No I don’t like dance music compilations.
Some of the threads have been terminated for lack of interest. Is there ONE place I can go to get this dammed junk out of my favorites? No I don’t like Aerosmith, Adele, AC/DC, baby shambles, or Alan parsons Project, either.

@Dennis_Dort - If you go to the thread linked in @Suedkiez 's post immediately above yours, you will see a message from Support offering to fix your issue by providing your details to Qobuz staff directly - they can then fix your account personally.

Thanks. I did that about two weeks ago and have not heard, or gotten a result. I’ve started removing them manually — doing about twenty or so each time until I get tired of it. Kind of like weeding the garden. I hadn’t known that Celine Dion and Chris Botti had made so many albums.
I stumbled upon a way to delete albums in large batches. Took out more than a thousand and am still not done. Still, any help anyone can provide will be helpful
There’s no post of you in the linked thread. It’s auto-closed, though, so maybe @Geoff_Coupe can reopen it?
Thanks. I didn’t post, but took the invitation to hit the like button — Figures that if the thread was closed, nobody’s going to be paying a lot of attention. As you’ve seen above, I used the self-help option, highlighted the albums in groups of fifty and hit delete. There were a LOT of them, and I’m afraid, not wanting to speak ill of someone who is almost certainly not here, almost none of them were any good at all.
