Hi,
I am trying to understand the tagging system in Roon 1.8.
What I need to accomplish, is to tag composers (mostly with period labels like “Romantic” or “Préromantic”, but also with other qualities) so that I can later focus on albums, for example, that contain any “Romantic or “Préromantic” compositions based on the presence of a specific composer.
To do so, I first go to the Composer’s view from My library, then right click or long press on a composer so that the “…” symbol appears next to the play now button. From there, and there only, I add the desired tag.
The problem is when I click on the composer afterwards, I don’t see that tag. It only shows under “My tags” menu, but there is no way to know what tags are associated to a single composer.
Besides if I try to tag a composer, not from the composer’s tab (showing all composers in my library) but instead on it’s individual page, the tag will then be displayed, BUT it will appear as an ARTIST tag and not a COMPOSER tag in the Tags screen.
The workaround I have found for now, is to tag Composers 2 times with the same labels, one time as an Artists and one time as a composer, so that I can SEE what tag I input for every composer.
As I understand it, there seems to be a confusion between ARTIST and COMPOSER pages for classical music, at least in the way in which their individual pages are displayed.
I am missing something?
Thank you for your help, as tagging large collection of classical music is time consuming.
EDIT: I just found that the problem runs DEEPER!
I tried to remove a tag from composers (problem reproduced with any composer) in My tags view, but that tag won’t go away. The only solution is to delete the entire TAG, LOOSING all that tagging work. This is very frustrating, and I hope someone at Roon will address this SERIOUS issue. What good is there to have a fancy looking music software if the tagging system is broken? @noris (In case this tagging issue is related to crashing in Composer/composition view).
