I’m in the process of putting all my CD’s on my NAS and in Roon.
For the ripping I use Jriver ( version 23).
Next step, making sure that the metadata is accurate I use the program called Metadatics.
the way I process that is that I pull all the CD’s in the software ( graphical display)
Next I make sure that they are marked as 1 group
Then I import metadata out of music brainz ( make it more complete) and to verify if all metadata information is correct and the I safe
after that I import the album(s) into roon.
I notice that in roon 50% of my multidisk albums are not displayed as multidisk but as unique albums or sometimes 1 cd out the collections is left out.
All multi disk albums hold the same album name.
Each CD is marked unique 1,2,3 etc and is also set that each CD is part of a collection of N CD’s
Every cd starts with song numbered from 1 to …z in incremental steps 1
I’m stuck.
I can’t see any error in my metadata but… clearly roon thinks differently
Any thought ?
Hi Hans. Sorry, what I meant was, for your multi-disc albums, are the ripped track files for each CD contained in a folders like:
Album Title CD1 Album Title CD2 (this won’t work)
or
Album Title Album Title\CD1 Album Title\CD2 (this will work)
or just
Album Title (this should also work)
The reason for this is that, before attempting to identify the tracks, Roon will create “clumps” of tracks which it considers to be all tracks of the same album. Having Title + CD/disc number in a directory name will make Roon clump at that directory level and not pick up all of the CDs in the set.
Finally, what naming convention have you used on the track files themselves?
It can be that disc 1 and 2 have become part of the multiple disk album however disk 3 is left out of the group and it shows in roon as a unique operate album
the naming of the track is first the artist and then the name of the song
