I am running the Roon Core 1.3 (242) on a Late 2012 Mac Mini Server (2.6GHz Core i7, 8GB RAM, SSD). My music files are stored on a Synology NAS device that is mounted as a volume on the Mini. The path to the files in Roon is a local Mac path, since that volume is already mounted.
Roon imported the huge majority of my library (~8000 tracks) just fine, as far as I can tell, but I am missing some albums.
For example, Paul Simon’s “Stranger to Stranger [Deluxe Edition]” is not shown at all, nor is the Chris Thile & Edgar Meyer album “Mandolin & Bass”.
I turned on Show Hidden Albums, which didn’t change anything.
I looked in the Skipped Files list, and one track from the Thile/Meyer album does show up there (track #6) as being in an unsupported format. (I believe that to be an error; it’s a regular ALAC file like the rest of my library.)
I’ve tried forcing a re-scan, which did not change anything.
I read the document here and checked the various things that it suggests. I don’t have special characters in the file path, and they do not show up if I filter my library by path. Here’s a sample path:
Thanks for the reply. .m4a is the extension for Apple Lossless (aka ALAC), and also AAC (DRM and not), so that’s not the issue, but thanks for the suggestion.
I solved my problem, and I’m super-embarrassed, but I’ll post the solution here.
I actually had TWO volumes mounted on the computer both called “music”. One was a network share, and one was my old local-attached storage, from before I installed the Synology. I accidentally pointed Roon to the old volume, so it was missing my newest music.
It seems that Roon won’t let you select a mounted share directly on the Mac, which is fine. I have it pointed directly to the NAS now.
Hi, @wizardofoz, yes, thanks, I maybe wasn’t clear in my follow-up post. I have the Roon Core pointed directly at the NAS via SMB now and all is well. Appreciate the response.
